Operating Systems Solaris How to set up legacy services right on Solaris 10

grial:

Thanks a lot for the details. But I have some questions:

1. Do you mean I can chmod dbora to allow everyone to execute. Or you mean I need to chown dbora from root to oracle. The dbora is the control script, I have linked it from /etc/init.d to /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc2.d as S99dbora. If I chmod S99dbora to be executed by oracle user, will that work?

2. Based on your code for wrapper script. I understand it is to use wrapper one to call control script-dbora. The dbora is under root. So I have to create this wrapper one as oracle user because #!/bin/ksh is korn shell for oracle. Am I right? Please clarify this for me. What does $1 represent for?

A wrapper script, in your case, would be another script that calls the original one using "su". That new script is the one you would use to start/stop Oracle during the boot process. For example:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/su - oracle -c "/etc/init.d/dbora $1"

755 would be enough for /etc/init.d/dbora
No matter to what user it belongs with that perms.

Say you create the script I posted, and you call it calldbora.
Then this is the script you have to link to /etc/rc0.d and /etc/rc2.d (and delete the old ones).
$1 represets the first parameter passed to the script: start or stop Smilie
But try first the "su" comand to test it Smilie

You can su in the script under the the start option in your case statement
All the rc scripts get run by the root user, so you don't need to chmod 755 your script. You don't need a wrapper and really shouldn't set it up like this, stick to the standard way of using rc boot up scripts, using a case statement with start/stop options.
Your rc start config is correct, its your script that is not working.

Here's a couple of old example oracle start scripts..

Installation instructions appear below each script
Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Start/stop Oracle database(s) found in /var/opt/oracle/oratab
# NOTE that tns listener must start AFTER this script (S98tns start)
# and stop BEFORE (K20tns stop) this script.

case "$1" in
'start')
	su oracle -c "/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbstart"
	;;
'stop')
	su oracle -c "/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/dbshut"
	;;
*)
	echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
	exit 1
	;;
esac
exit 0

Install this script as /etc/init.d/oracle then symlink it:

# link -s /etc/init.d/oracle /etc/rc2.d/S97oracle
# link -s /etc/init.d/oracle /etc/rc1.d/K21oracle
# link -s /etc/init.d/oracle /etc/rc0.d/K21oracle
# link -s /etc/init.d/oracle /etc/rcS.d/K21oracle

Code:
#!/sbin/sh
# Start/stop Oracle TNS listener
# NOTE that TNS listener must start AFTER dbstart (S97oracle start)
# and stop BEFORE (K20oracle stop).

/bin/logger $0 $1

case "$1" in
'start')
	su oracle -c "/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/tnsctl start"
	;;
'stop')
	su oracle -c "/oracle/app/oracle/product/8.1.6/bin/tnsctl stop"
	;;
*)
	echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
	exit 1
	;;
esac
exit 0

Install this script as /etc/init.d/tns then symlink it:

# link -s /etc/init.d/tns /etc/rc3.d/S98tns
# link -s /etc/init.d/tns /etc/rc1.d/K20tns
# link -s /etc/init.d/tns /etc/rc0.d/K20tns
# link -s /etc/init.d/tns /etc/rcS.d/K20tns

Tornado, grial:

Many thanks to both of you for your informative advice. You are right. The problem might be in my script. I am going to find the time to implement your code. Hereafter, I post my dbora script for your comments. I put all start and stop commands in one script. Also, in my $ORACLE_HOME/bin/dbstart script, the ORATAB=/etc/oratab, not in /var/opt/oracle/oratab. I copy oratab from /etc to /var/opt/oracle. Is this OK or I have to modify the ORATAB path to point to /var/opt/oracle. Please advise too.

#!/bin/sh
ORA_HOME=/u01/app/oracleproduct/10.2.0/db_1
ORA_OWNER=oracle
if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo " Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi
case "$1" in
'start') # Start the Oracle database and listeners
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl start"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl start dbconsole"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl start"
;;
'stop') # Stop the Oracle database and listeners
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/isqlplusctl stop"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/emctl stop dbconsole"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/lsnrctl stop"
su - $ORA_OWNER -c "$ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut"
;;
esac

Tornado, as you can read on my posts avobe, the script "dbora" is supposed to accept start/stop parameters. Assuming this, you don't need to use a "case" again inside the wrapper script. That's why just a "$1" is enough.

Yo DO need to set 555, at least, in the "dbora" script if you want to execute it as the Oracle user from the wrapper script. Obviously, you DO NOT need it on the wrapper script as long as it's executed by root.

Back to your script, duke0001, the problem seems to be that the file /u01/app/oracleproduct/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart does not exist. Check it and, for now, forget everything about the wrapper script. Smilie

/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin/dbstart script do exist. I can manually execute it and I have tried a couple of times, it work perfectly. Thanks.

mmm... that's a weird thing if, as you've posted, you are getting the message "Oracle startup: cannot start". That looks like failing on:
Code:
if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart ]
then
echo " Oracle startup: cannot start"
exit
fi

Just remove this part if you are sure about /u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1/bin
