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?
