The / directory has:
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 25 18:20 service/
The svscan binary is installed and executable:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root bin 13532 Aug 15 2000 /usr/local/bin/svscan*
In inittab, I tried various combinations after 'svscan /service' and the run
level too:
SV:123456:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan /service
</dev/null 2>/dev/console
SV:2345:respawn:env - PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin svscan /service
</dev/null 2>/dev/console
Each time I made changes to inittab, I did run:
# kill -HUP 1
or
# init q
or
# telinit q
The run level on this system is 4.
The 'ps waux | grep svscan' will not list svscan.
The only command that seems to work is:
# csh -cf 'svscan /service &'
I would definitely prefer to start svscan from /etc/inittab rather than via
the startup scripts. I did reboot the system after making changes to inittab
and that did not start svscan.
