fbsd 6.1 and starting services problem
Hi, It is my first fbsd 6.1. I migrate a system from fbsd 6.0 to 6.1. I have a script postgresql.sh in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. It is executible. Also it is working on 6.0 at startup. But it do not runs in fbsd 6.1. If I try /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql.sh start all is fine. I checked : cat /etc/defaults/rc.conf | grep local_startup local_startup=/usr/local/etc/rc.d /usr/X11R6/etc/rc.d # startup script dirs. It looks ok for me. Pls. help me to find the problem. Also fbsd do not start at boot any services with scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d .

Re: fbsd 6.1 and starting services problem
Thanks for the answer.
I think I do not need to use mergemaster.
It is a brand new install of FreeBSD 6.1.
I only copy all my scripts from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/.
For example the postgresql install is NOT from ports.
I instaaled it from source ( I did it many times on 5.1, 5.4
and 6.0 ).
I expect that all scripts in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ will be
run on system start.
After login as root if I try to execute
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgres.sh start, all is working
perfect.
But I need it to start after system start alone.
Here is my script:
# ls -l /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgres.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 1327 Jul 24 21:25
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgres.sh
#! /bin/sh
# PostgreSQL boot time startup script for FreeBSD. Copy
this file to
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql.
# Created through merger of the Linux start script by Ryan
Kirkpatrick
# and the script in the FreeBSD ports collection.

You shouldnt need to override some checks, it should do what it's commanded to do. Nothing is broken, the script IS doing what it's commanded to do. rc.d scripts are intended to start service at boot time. The ability to start them arbitrarily is a convenience feature. When the system boots it sends ALL of the scripts in the rc.d directory the start command. The scripts are designed to check rc.conf and if they are not enabled in rc.conf, then they do not run (making service management as easy as editing one config file). forcestart is a convenience command to temporarily enable a service without making it run every time you boot the os. By using it, you are saying Even though I said DO NOT RUN service x, force service x to run.

You have to add a line in /etc/rc.conf. I think it is
samba_enable=YES.
well, if you add sshd_enable=YES, the service (always) starts on boot.

Halldor
Then something's broken, no? If the service isnt running and you send
it a start and it doesnt start, then that's bad. You shouldnt need
to override some checks, it should do what it's commanded to do.
If you're talking about implementation no, it's not. In order to start
a service with start argument it needs to be enabled in
/etc/rc.conf. It's nicely documented in various places like man 8 rc
or /etc/rc.subr.
What OP is looking for is 'onestart' and 'onestop' parameters. I was
looking for a solution to the same issue some days ago and found that
in /etc/rc.subr:
# If argument has a given prefix, then change the operation as
follows:
# Prefix Operation
# -- -
# fastSkip the pid check, and set rc_fast=yes
# force Set ${rcvar} to YES, and set rc_force=yes
# one Set ${rcvar} to YES
Basically /etc/rc.d/sshd onestart will let you run sshd service
without enabling it in rc.conf (which also means it'll start at boot
time) yet it checks if sshd is not running already.
Hope that helps,
Karol

RE: starting services?
I have just installed the Samba3 via the packages in the /stand/sysinstall but am not clear on how to start the daemon. I have had a lot of experience with Linux but have not learned a lot about FreeBSD yet and am working on it. If Samba is all config'ed and ready to roll, I recall the startup command was simply: # /path/to/installation/smbd -D ...and the name service: # /path/to/installation/nmbd -D ...to run it in daemon mode. Also, I have been watching the threads on some hackers breaking into someone's system through PHP and am wondering about how secure FreeBSD really is compared to various default installs of Linux. Not to start a comparison battle, but I just wanted to try to find out a little more about the basic security of FreeBSD as we are looking to use it in a production service. That particular thread apparently was dealing with a breach through PHP. Since the inherent nature of a web server is to provide full access to everyone, it's an easy target to probe for vulns. IMHO, FreeBSD was not at fault here (at least not entirely). It really depends on the particular setup etc, etc ad-infinitum. I will not comment on Linux at all, because I've only touched it a couple times, but if you want scalable, reliable, dependable, rock-solid performance in production, I'd give FBSD a try for certain. No matter what system you run, unless it has no cables attached and is locked in a vault, there will always be the potential for a break-in.

rcNG - starting services.
I just made the transition to 5.3 from 4.x and I am unclear on the the new rcNG way of starting locally installed services such as MySQL, Samba etc. I did read the manual pages on rc.d and rcNG. I just installed MySQL from ports and would like it to start automatically on boot. The manual page for rcNG is a bit unclear for starting local userland services such as mysql. A working example for a common application such as MysQL, Postgresql, or Samba would certainly be useful. My question is: Do I still start MysQL the old way with the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh? OR Do I create an entry in /etc/rc.conf.local with mysql_enable=YES? Also, if using the rcNG method, do I have to copy the mysql-server.sh script to /etc/rc.d/mysql or will rcNG make use of default /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh? Thanks, -- Scott A.

Re: rcNG - starting services.
Hi Scott, Friday, December 3, 2004, 5:30:16 PM, you made these points: I just made the transition to 5.3 from 4.x and I am unclear on the the new rcNG way of starting locally installed services such as MySQL, Samba etc. I did read the manual pages on rc.d and rcNG. I just installed MySQL from ports and would like it to start automatically on boot. The manual page for rcNG is a bit unclear for starting local userland services such as mysql. A working example for a common application such as MysQL, Postgresql, or Samba would certainly be useful. My question is: Do I still start MysQL the old way with the script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh? yes OR Do I create an entry in /etc/rc.conf.local with mysql_enable=YES? you need to add line mysql_enable=YES to rc.conf Also, if using the rcNG method, do I have to copy the mysql-server.sh script to /etc/rc.d/mysql or will rcNG make use of default no /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server.sh? yes ;-) -- Best Regards, +--==/\/\==--+ (__) FreeBSD | DanGer [EMAIL PROTECTED] |\\\'',) The | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ261701668 | \/ \ ^Power | http://danger.homeunix.org | .\._/_)To +--==\/\/==--+ Serve [ Malpractice makes malperfect. ] ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: order of starting services at boot?
Hello, Can anybody explain to me how FreeBSD 5.2.1 controls the start order of the scripts in /etc/rc.d ? I think it is just alphabetic order according to whatever sort order is in effect. jerry I've looked all over and am having trouble gleening what controls this. For instance, if I would like to start ipfw before dhclient (right now dhclient starts, then ipfw starts), how would I accomplish this?

Yeah. I guess that ipfw isn't started like that. Durr.
