Hi James:

I have encounter the same problem and here is what I have done:

1. Add the following lines to the top of you script file:

# chkconfig: 235 99 01
# description: what ever you want here

2. Run chkconfig to "add" the script:

chkconfig --add /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop

A Google search on chkconfig should supply you with the reasoning
behind this (much more eloquently than I can).

You might also want to add the following line to your script file:

touch /var/lock/subsys/S50pgstartstop

IIRC this was required in order to the shutdown to work correctly.

HTH

Regards, Hugh

This is all very odd. chkconfig, IIUC, merely creates the symbolic links
in /etc/rc.d/rc.[0-6] to /etc/init.d/<scriptname>. If there's already one
in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d that begins with an S, it should have been found by the
startup scripts.

Perhaps you could try chkconfig pgstartstop off, then on, and see if that
works.

I assume that you've checked /var/log/messages for anything occuring
during startup.

Many thanks Hugh. Added the above lines to the script and tried to the following;
chkconfig --add /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop
error reading information on service S50pgstartstop: No such file or directory
<snip>

[root@ip-10-161-99-142 ~]# ls -l /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Aug 26 13:28 /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S50pgstartstop -> /etc/init.d/pgstartstop
<snip>

The script:
#! /bin/sh
# chkconfig: 235 99 01
# description: pgstart & stop
touch /var/lock/subsys/S50pgstartstop
case "$1" in
start) /usr/bin/pgstart ;;
stop) /usr/bin/pgstop ;;
restart) /bin/sh $0 stop
/bin/sh $0 start ;;
*) echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
exit 1;;
esac
<snip>


The file is there. Any clue as to how I can fix this?

Again, many thanks.

James

Dumb question:
ls -l /etc/init.d/pgstartstop
Is it executable?

Thank you Mark and Hugh;

Ran 'chkconfig pgstartstop off' then 'on' and it now appears in chkconfig --list;

pgstartstop 0ff 1ff 2n 3n 4n 5n 6ff
<snip>

I'll let you know how the reboot goes.

Best,

James

+1 regarding the "S". pgstartstop must depend on a daemon that hasn't
started when its S script is launched.

The 99 and 01 above should take care of that but "chkconfig -add"
should be run on the script in /init.d not rc3.d.

~~~
Not dumb at all; it was the first thing I checked;

ls -l /etc/init.d/pgstartstop
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 259 Aug 26 15:46 /etc/init.d/pgstartstop
