YAST system services (runlevel)

[hroch99]

Hello,
I am new in SuSe. I created a script for automatic starting of Informix. The script works fine from command line.
When I try to start Informix from YAST GUI, it also works, Informix is started, but it returns an error: /etc/init.d/informix returned nil (unpecified error) and in the column "Running" remains "No".
The second attempt returns Success and "Yes" in the "Running" column.

What am i doind wrong? The script listing follows here:
#!/bin/bash

#

### BEGIN INIT INFO

# Provides: Informix

# Required-Start: postfix

# Required-Stop:

# Default-Start: 2 3 5

# Default-Stop: 0 6

# Description: Starts and stops the IBM Informix Dynamic server and shutdown.

### END INIT INFO



#test -s /etc/rc.status &&

. /etc/rc.status

;;

echo -n $"Shutting down IDS $ids: "

$INFORMIXDIR/bin/onmode -ky

ret=$?

[ $ret -eq 0 ] && rc_status -v;rm -f /var/lock/subsys/informix

;;

echo $"Usage: $prog {start|stop}"

exit 1

;;

esac

rc_exit

Just a guess. When starting the script as a service the directory/files should be owned by root or at least executable by root.

Check ownership and permissions.

[hroch99]

The script iself is owned by root but directories/files in /home/informix should be owned by the user informix. It is not possible to change this.

[gogalthorp]

What are the permissions. Is there a informax group? I still think it os a permissions problem but it could be a path problem Are all the paths you need defined when the runlevel is run. I know you are defining some in the script but is that all the ones you really need.

Just throwing out possible problem areas....

You might try on a board that specializes in Informix.

I did not find any mistake. The script works and it returns exit code 0. Only Yast says this error for the first attempt.
