Full Discussion: init not starting processes from inittab
Operating Systems AIX init not starting processes from inittab Post 302278409 by hybr1d on Tuesday 20th of January 2009 06:58:11 AM

Thank you for your replies.

Yes, I checked the boot log and errpt, and yes, I tried to start with piping stdout, stderr to a file, it is not being even created, leave alone populated. As zaxxon said, other system services are being started fine by it, which is really strange. Maybe it's worth to mention that I tried either by viing the file directly or with the *itab commands. On other machines it works either way (though I know IBM recommend not editing it directly).

Of course, I executed "init q" every time I changed something.

NAME

       started - event signalling that a job is running

SYNOPSIS

       started JOB=JOB INSTANCE=INSTANCE [ENV]...

DESCRIPTION

       The  started  event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon when an instance of a job has finished starting and is now running.  The JOB
       environment variable contains the job name, and the INSTANCE environment variable contains the instance name which will be empty  for  sin-
       gle-instance jobs.

       init(8)	emits this event as an informational signal, services and tasks started or stopped by this event will do so in parallel with other
       activity.  It is typically combined with the stopping(7) event by services declaring a dependency.

       Job configuration files may use the export stanza to export environment variables from their own environment into the started  event.   See
       init(5) for more details.

EXAMPLE

       A service that wishes to depend on another service might use:

	      start on started apache
	      stop on stopping apache

       A task that must be run after another task or service has been started might use:

	      start on started postgresql
