Since Redhat 7, the init.d functionality has changed. You must now use chkconfig to not only create symlinks in the staged rc.# directories, but you need the inclusion of a function file. What happens is the you must create a script in /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope2 that has an intelligent method of querying a script such as start. This script must be able to understand the following: /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope2 start /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope2 stop /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope2 restart /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope2 status You cannot take start now and place it in init.d. In Redhat 7+ I suggest you check the atd script for an example. Here is a script I modified for zope, that works, but not entirely: #!/bin/bash # # /etc/rc.d/init.d/zope2 # # Starts the Zope daemon # # chkconfig: 345 85 85 # description: Zope server. . /etc/init.d/functions RETVAL=0 # # See how we were called. # prog="Zope2" start() { # Check if atd is already running echo -n $"Starting $prog: " /var/Zope-233b/start RETVAL=$? [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] echo return $RETVAL } stop() { echo -n $"Stopping $prog: " /var/Zope-233b/stop RETVAL=$? [ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] echo return $RETVAL } restart() { stop start } reload() { restart } status_at() { status /var/Zope-233b/start } case "$1" in start) start ;; stop) stop ;; reload|restart) restart ;; condrestart) if [ -f /var/lock/subsys/atd ]; then restart fi ;; status) status_at ;; *) echo $"Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|condrestart|status}" exit 1 esac exit $? exit $RETVAL Hope this helps, Paz -----Original Message----- From: zope-admin@zope.org [mailto:zope-admin@zope.org]On Behalf Of Carl David Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 3:24 PM To: zope@zope.org Subject: [Zope] I'm stuck getting Zope to start on boot RH7 subject really says it all. From the command line, in /etc/init.d/ I can execute a script called zope which starts Zope properly (I can see it with ps -ef). Using Control Panel, I've placed zope in the start and stop places properly, and upon boot, there is a message that Zope has been started (OK), but ps -ef tells me that this is not so, i.e., it's been stopped somehow. Can someone suggest things I should do? I got this going on RH6, on a sparc machine, but this is a i386 machine and a slightly higher level of RH.
