I have a startup script placed in /etc/init.d wherein I make the following call:
nohup sudo -u myuser $CATALINA_HOME/bin/startup.sh 2>&1
This causes Tomcat to be run as myuser, which is expected. However after issuing the reboot command the system starts up and root is now the owner of this process. How can I force the process to be started off as myuser on reboot?
I need to kill a process which has been started by user2 if I am user1 without being sudoers or using root.Do you know if there is a way of setting that when launching the process? Such as a list of users allowed to kill the process?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWe have a Oracle 11.2 database running on Red Hat 5.5. The database have a scheduled job to fetch some files from another server using ftp, and herein lies the problem.he job runs a pl/sql that runs the function in an (by us compiled) external libraryThe ftp-functionality itself is done by using libncftp and it's API's.The process starts correctly, but then trying to login to the actual ftp host, ncftp only reports "Unknown username/password" (which is not the case).I have the exact same code in an executable and when run from an interactive shell, it works fine.So the only thing I can come up with, is there are differences when the process is started by Oracle, rather then being ordinary" process.And I am stuck.If there are any environment variables, paths etc missing when running the extproc-process, how do I find out which?Because the real problem is NOT wrong user or password.

All of a sudden all the application services shut down abnormally on weekend. On the first day of the week, business users were unable to login as a result. For root cause investigation, we were unable to findout anything in the application logs. But were trying to get reboot/shutdown information from the system.....but we are bit confused with the info in /var/log/wtmp by using 'last' command(output given bellow):
[root@prod ~]# last reboot |head -2
reboot system boot 2.6.18-194.el5PA Mon Aug 8 11:26 (1+03:10)
reboot system boot 2.6.18-194.el5PA Sun Aug 7 17:27 (17:55)
We doubt the server might have gone down on Sunday(7th Aug) but there's also an entry of 8th Aug, on which day the server was running fine, no reboot/shutdown happened. If there any other way of getting info on reboot timings.

I have spoken with our Java Developers and they seem to think it is something up between httpd and tomcat at an OS level. Since Tomcat is not starting and giving an error that it is all ready running, I think you have a stale lock file. Look for the file /var/run/tomcat5.pid and cat or less it to see what the PID number is. If it matches the error, then delete the file and try to start Tomcat again. It should start this time.
Most common problem with Tomcat5. Try following :
1) Search PID in /tmp, if found delete it or else stop your tomcat.
2) Undeploy your application
3) Check out this link [URL] to know what causing tomcat to generate this error.
If none of them work then check your application configuration settings. [URL]. When I do start tomcat it appears to start:
[root@RPSI-2 san00]# service tomcat5 start
Starting tomcat5: Using CATALINA_BASE: /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_HOME: /usr/share/tomcat5
Using CATALINA_TMPDIR: /usr/share/tomcat5/temp
Using JAVA_HOME: /usr/java/jdk1.6.0
[root@RPSI-2 san00]#
But then I try to find if it is running via ps -ef | grep tomcat5, I only receive my query. I perform the same query on Java and it also only returns my query.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've a laptop running 10.04 LTS 64 bit. (Upgraded from 9.04 64bit). Some times (1 over 3) certain processes are not started at boot time : bluetooth, vboxdrv, hddtemp, cups.... (I may miss some other ones). If I use sudo and the service command I can start them by hand and if I reboot they usually start automatically. I've tried to start the laptop without the "quiet splash" options to the kernel command line but I did not see any error messages nor anything more explaining this behavior. So I wonder where I can find where the glitch is, how I can fix it, and what is the startup sequence of an Ubuntu machine (there is no /etc/inittab, and the /etc/rcN behavior does not seem to be standard)

I installed Ubuntu in my PC alongside winXP. I downloaded the ISO and mounted it using a virtual image software (PowerISO used in winXP). I installed Ubuntu using wubi in a 20GB partition. During installation it asked me how much space should I give, I gave it 11gb. Everything went fine. I rebooted but now the computer hangs during startup. I went to verbose mode to see what the error is and found out that everything is ok. The last line that apears is "Setting sensors limit [OK]" and then nothing happens. I have tried every option (safe graphic mode/ demo mode etc etc) but the computer hangs.

Recently my GNOME (bottom) panel started reshuffling items after reboot.
I tried removing the panel, recreating it and placing new items on the panel. After rebooting the PC everything is undone. The panel reshuffles the items (even when the "Lock To Panel" is used). Also the items that are moved to the top panel, after rebooting return to the bottom panel.
Does anyone have a solution for this issue?
In the ubuntu series I find my hard disk description as this: /dev/sda. As we know in slackware (10.1) for partitioning we either use 'fdisk' or 'cfdisk' when I use fdisk, like mentioned: fdisk /dev/sda. It says disk cannot be found.... or something like that. I think I know why?
You see my hard disk has the D: E: F: as extended partitions comprising logical drives and only my C: drive is pure primary. Does this have any connection with my problem? As from my explanation you can find that I'm a total wreck with computers.. but I'm very thrilled to learn linux. The reason why I need slax is that I require a traditional root account.
