RedHat startup script

churnd · Mar 23rd 2010

The linux manual comes with a startup script for debian based systems. I have conquest compiled on my redhat system, so I wanted a startup script init.d could use. This is what I came up with:

Bash

#!/bin/bash
#
#       /etc/rc.d/init.d/conquest
# conquest      This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#               Conquest DICOM Server
#				http://www.xs4all.nl/~ingenium/dicom.html
#

#
# chkconfig: 2345 13 87
# description: Management script for Conquest DICOM Server on Redhat.


# Source function library.
. /etc/init.d/functions


CONQ_DIR=/usr/local/conquest/


start() {
        echo -n "Starting Conquest DICOM Server: "
        cd $CONQ_DIR
	daemon ./dgate -v &
}


stop() {
        echo -n "Shutting down Conquest DICOM Server: "
        echo
        killproc dgate
        echo
        return 0
}


case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;
    stop)
        stop
        ;;
    restart)
        stop
        start
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage:  {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit

However, it's very rough and I think it could be better, but not sure what to add. Any comments appreciated.

OK actually the above script didn't work at all. I'm attaching one I've developed further, and it still doesn't work:

Bash

#!/bin/sh## Startup script for Conquest## chkconfig: 345 85 15     - start or stop process definition within the boot process# description: Conquest DICOM Server# processname: conquest# pidfile: /var/run/conquest.pid# Source function library.      This creates the operating environment for the process to be started. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functionsCONQ_DIR=/usr/local/conquestcase "$1" in  start)        echo -n "Starting Conquest DICOM server: "        cd $CONQ_DIR && daemon --user mruser ./dgate -v                 - Starts only one process of a given name.        echo        touch /var/lock/subsys/conquest        ;;  stop)        echo -n "Shutting down Conquest DICOM server: "        killproc conquest        echo        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/conquest        rm -f /var/run/conquest.pid      - Only if process generates this file        ;;  status)        status conquest        ;;  restart)        $0 stop        $0 start        ;;  reload)        echo -n "Reloading process-name: "        killproc conquest -HUP        echo        ;;  *)        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"        exit 1esacexit 0

What I'm getting is

Code

# ./conquest start
Starting Conquest DICOM server: -bash: ./dgate: No such file or directory
                                                           [FAILED]

Can someone please tell me why this redhat init.d script isn't working? Or perhaps provide one that will?

Thanks, but the script doesn't work. Was hoping to get some insight as to why not.

Little rusty with RH..

Can you start dgate manually from the terminal?

IIRC, there is a configuration file somewhere to declare env path.
Otherwise, maybe put

cd /usr/local/conquest/

before trying to ./dgate

looks like you are not getting to the correct directory to start dgate.
