Am trying to have an email sent on start up advising that the system has been reset.
During the week the system reset itself and no email was received, below is an extract of the file /etc/init.d/sendmail . And I'm stumped to understand why the email wasn't sent.
Can anyone see why things didn't go to plan as I'd thought they would?
I have written a daemon and want to make sure that it starts up again after the machine is re-started so I can quit manually doing it. Problem is I'm having difficulty understanding what to do with the init.d
Any help would be appreciated! (1 Reply)
Hi Expert,
I have encountered some problem with my SUN system. Everytime when i issue command #init 6 OR #init 0 it just logout and prompt for login again instead of rebooting the server when run init 6 and system shutdown when run init 0..
I can only reboot the system using reboot ... Was... (6 Replies)
I know if a parent process exits before its child, the last one becomes orphan for a while and then is added to the children of Init process.
I'd like to know deeper
1 how the orphan becomes init process,
2 how init knows that from a some point on it has another child.
Thank you in advance. (2 Replies)
Dear all,
I typed in init 1 on my redhat box as root and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel):
1 Single-User Mode Does not configure network interfaces, start daemons, or allow non-root logins
So now I can't connect back to it. How do I change the init back to 3?... (8 Replies)
What is the difference between 'init s' and 'init 1'.
I know that both will work to change the current run level to single user mode.
Is there any difference in those two commands? (5 Replies)
Hi,
Can somebody please tell me the difference between the files in /etc/rc2.d and those in /etc/init.d? I am asking because on one system, I got a sysedge file S99.sysedge under /etc/rc2.d and it has a soft link to the /etc/init.d/sysedge.
It would be my understanding that the one under... (6 Replies)
Hi,
I am experiencing a weird thing on my SUNFIRE machine with Solaris 9 OS.
When I do init 0 to shutdown the machine to go to ok prompt, what it did was shutdown and reboot like an init 6 command do. I did check the corresponding rc scripts that were involved with init 0 and compared with rc... (2 Replies)

runit-init
runit-init(8) System Manager's Manual runit-init(8)NAME
init - a UNIX process no 1
SYNOPSIS
init [ 0 | 6 ]
DESCRIPTION
runit-init is the first process the kernel starts. If runit-init is started as process no 1, it runs and replaces itself with runit(8).
If runit-init is started while the system is up, it must be either called as init 0 or init 6:
init 0 tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system. To signal runit(8) the system halt request, runit-init removes all
permissions of the file /etc/runit/reboot (chmod 0), and sets the execute by owner permission of the file /etc/runit/stopit (chmod
100). Then a CONT signal is sent to runit(8).
init 6 tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the system. To signal runit(8) the system reboot request, runit-init sets the
execute by owner permission of the files /etc/runit/reboot and /etc/runit/stopit (chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to
runit(8).
EXIT CODES
runit-init returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
