We had the same problem with various things not starting intermittently. The processes are getting hup'ed if the boot process hasn't ended and closed the log. Because these processes are writing to the boot log, they get hup'ed too. We put in a dummy script to sleep at the end of the start-up scripts to allow boot to close the log and terminate. This solved the intermittent problem. Actually it was Ken Hall who discovered this.

I see the message for the httpd server on the HMC console: Starting httpd [ LDAP PERL PHP4 SSL ] but when I telnet in, the task is not running and I don't see anything in the log that truly indicates why it's not there. Also, JBOSS is not starting at IPL, even though the items in etc/init.d/rc3/d are ok. (or appear to be). Lastly, one component of DB2connect EE isn't starting either. That is the db2sysc process, in the 8.1 version of DB2 connect. I have had to logon as db2inst1 and issue a db2start command to get that to work. Nothing for it was created in /etc/init.d or any of the rc.x sub dirs. Any insight? Here are the RC3.d entries for apache/jboss. I believe the links are correct. The actual scripts themselves do function to start/stop the tasks.
