Operating Systems Linux SuSE Unable to Run a script at startup in suse Post 302441455 by SystemEng on Saturday 31st of July 2010 12:58:33 AM

SYSLOG-NG messages

Hi,

Let me try to explain what the script (pasted below) actually does.

I have syslog-ng installed on a server. It logs all messages (example firewall logs) from different clients. But the log messages are stored in a database.

When i launch the script manually (via putty), it works fine, but eventually when i quit putty, the script stops.

So basically messages are sent to a pipe file namely mssql.syslog-ng.pipe, then messages from there are written to database. As you can see its in a while loop, so it waits permanently for messages. Thats the way it should be. It should run in the background actually. My problem is i dont know how to make it start whenever the server starts and it should run in the background.

What i meant by it hangs in my previous post was it was waiting messages, so it hangs there waiting and the server is not loaded completely. Its not like you are starting oracle on startup and it gets started and the server proceeds with other processes.

I dont know if its clear enough now, but im still trying to find out a solution.

Thanks

Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
# File: syslogng-mssql-pipe.sh
#
# Take input from a FIFO and run execute it as a query for
# a sqlserver database.
#


if [ -e /tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe ]; then
       while [ -e /tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe ]
                do
                       echo "INN"
                       isql -v MSTEST "sa" "password" </tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe
                done
else
        mkfifo /tmp/mssql.syslog-ng.pipe
fi

NAME
dtsd - Restarts the DTS daemon SYNOPSIS
dtsd [options] [-d] [-w serviceability] dtsd [-s [-k courier|noncourier] [-g] [-o]] dtsd -c ARGUMENTS
Debug mode. The command will run in the foreground. See svcroute(5) for the full description of the appropriate format for this entry. Only the three-field format, severity:how:where, is used. An example is: FATAL:TEXTFILE:/dev/console Run as a server. Default is backup, courier, local server Run dtsd as a global server. Run dtsd as a courier. Run dtsd as a noncourier. When enabling as a server, set the clock immediately. Equivalent to the command enable set clock true in dtscp or to the command dcecp dts activate -abruptly. Run dtsd as a clerk. DESCRIPTION
The dtsd command invokes the DTS daemon (clerk or server process). This command is usually executed as part of the overall DCE startup script, rc.dce. You can enter the command manually under the following conditions: If a DTS daemon fails to start automatically upon reboot If you want to restart a daemon that you shut down to perform a backup or do diagnostic work In normal rebooting, the rc.dce script automatically provides arguments appropriate to the choice of configuration options. The command line arguments shown here can also be provided to dced as part of the fixed configuration strings, if dced is configured to automatically start the dtsd. If dtsd is started with no arguments (other than -d and -w), then the server must be started with dcecp. The following example configures a local server: dcecp> dts configure -notglobal dcecp> dts activate Privilege Required DTS runs as the host machine principal, which is usually root. See the Security reference pages for information about principals. NOTES
Use dtsd interactively only when troubleshooting; use the rc.dce script to start the DTS daemon. On some systsems the superuser is associ- ated with the machine principal. EXAMPLES
To restart the daemon, follow these steps: Log in to the system as superuser (root). Use the ps command to make sure that dced and cdsadv are running. (The DCE daemon provides the endpoint mapping and security services, and cdsadv provides CDS.) Enter the following command to restart the dts daemon as a clerk: $ dtsd -c To restart the dts daemon as a server, use dtsd -s and to restart it as a global server, setting the clock on startup, use dtsd -s -g -o RELATED INFORMATION
Commands: dtscp(1m), dtsdate(1m), dcecp(1m). Books: OSF DCE Administration Guide dtsd(1m)
