Starting a service at startup.
Hi guys I want to start a service and a script SiteMonitor.sh at startup.

Quote:
Here is brief working of SiteMonitor.sh
(This script monitors the ip addresses of machines which are using http service of the host.
This script checks this after every 5 seconds therefore i have run it at background.
)
To start with i have modified /etc/rc.local file.

Here is the content of my /etc/rc.local file.

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts.
# You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't
# want to do the full Sys V style init stuff.

touch /var/lock/subsys/local
/etc/init.d/oc4j start
/usr/local/sbin/SiteMonitor.sh &
service httpd start

My problem is after i restart the machine only SiteMonitor.sh script get
executed but the command service httpd start doesnt .Therefore i have to manually login to the system and fire service httpd start to start apache.

I would also like to know whether the script SiteMonitor.sh is running or not?
How would i do that?

consolemessage

ConsoleMessage(8)					    BSD System Manager's Manual 					 ConsoleMessage(8)

NAME

     ConsoleMessage -- Send a message to SystemStarter

SYNOPSIS

     ConsoleMessage [-v] message
     ConsoleMessage [-v] -S
     ConsoleMessage [-v] -F
     ConsoleMessage [-v] -s service
     ConsoleMessage [-v] -f service
     ConsoleMessage [-v] -q setting
     ConsoleMessage [-v] -b path
     ConsoleMessage [-v] -u

DESCRIPTION

     The ConsoleMessage utility may be used by startup item scripts to send messages to SystemStarter (see SystemStarter(8)).

     The default behavior is to send the specified message to SystemStarter to be displayed on the console.  SystemStarter will attempt to local-
     ize the string using the current startup item's localization dictionaries.

     ConsoleMessage may also be used to give feedback to SystemStarter indicating which services provided by the startup item have succeeded or
     failed.

OPTIONS

     -v       verbose mode (prints errors to stdout)

     -S       mark all services provided by this item as successful

     -F       mark all services provided by this item as failed

     -s       mark the service as successful

     -f       mark the service as failed

     -q       query SystemStarter for the value of the configuration variable setting (result will be printed to stdout).

     -b       Tell SystemStarter to load the display bundle at the specified path

     -u       Tell SystemStarter to unload the current display bundle

NOTES

     When a service name is not specified, ConsoleMessage assumes its parent process identification (see getppid(2)) is that of a startup item
     script, and uses that token to find the correct list of services provided by the current item. If the process calling ConsoleMessage is not a
     startup item script, it is necessary to explicitly provide service names.

HISTORY

     The ConsoleMessage utility appeared in Darwin 6.0
