Ubuntu :: After Unning Command "init 1" Server Is Unconnectable?
Sep 17, 2010
Running Ubuntu 10.04 32-bit. I ran the command "init 1" which kicked all users off immediately, which I expected. The problem is now that no matter how many times I reboot the server, it can't connect to any other servers and refuses all incoming connections. I can connect through the console on the VPS's control panel, but that's it. Connecting normally through SSH just gets a refused connection. I'm very gimped now and I have no idea how to fix this.
I tried things like "init 3" but it doesn't help. I am also unable to back anything up, as I cannot make any outgoing or incoming connections other than through the java applet on the control panel. I tried to scp files through it but it fails. how to fix this? Or at least backup files so I can just wipe it?
I would like to know the working of init command.please tell discribe the init script stored in vim /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. what happen when init changes its run level.
I was reading in one of my redhat books that this command would make linux rered the inittab file but whin I try it I get Bash: init: command not found.
I run XBMC media center software which is built on a minimal Ubuntu install. I was running a version built on Karmic and I had the following line in my /etc/init.d/rc.local and it always ran without a hitch:
Code:
mount -t cifs -o file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777 //192.168.1.20/disk7/xbmc_thumbs/Thumbnails /home/kevin/.xbmc/userdata/Thumbnails
Recently, I upgraded to a version built on Lucid and now that fails to create the mount on boot up. Here is the entire contents of the file:
Code:
#! /bin/sh ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: rc.local # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $all
From runlevel 3 as root, when I attempt to change to runlevel 5 by typing the command "init 5", I get the following error:Id "x" respawning too fast:disabled for 5 minutes
I've been dual booting 10.10 with Windows7 for about a month. Today is the first time I've encountered a serious problem.
This morning, nothing functioned properly after trying to open several programs. The computer seemed to be "frozen", although the mouse was working fine.
I decided to reboot, but then encountered an even bigger problem.
It failed to boot and got this message: no init found. try passing init= bootarg
The problem now is that it requires a Live CD session and I keep getting this: GLib-WARNING **: getpwuid_r(): failed due to unknown user id (0)
In case it matters, I didn't install 10.10 from an ISO, I just upgraded from 10.04.
Ubuntu 9.10 will not boot! System froze this morning, I restarted and it is now failing to boot. Starts loading grub and I get this message:
mount: mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/04aa3697-7bc0-45b5-b86a-77a1e6534bd5 on /root failed: invalid argument mount: mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory mount: mounting /dev on /root/sys failed: no such file or directory

I booted with 9.04 LiveCD discovered the drive could not be mounted-ran fsck -ln and it told me the drive has no valid partition table. I have had intermittent problems mounting flash drives before this, so I'm kind of worried it might be a hardware issue.Also have files on that drive I would rather not lose, so reinstalling is hopefully a last resort.
I'm trying to boot into the Live CD (64bit version) and it dies with an error "nouveau .... 0x8DF6 Init table command not found: 0xA9". Get the same error after I install and try to boot into Debian, it starts booting but errors out later.

I just installed the ventrilo server daemon on CentOS 5.3 and I'm having 2 issues with the init.d script I wrote. Issue 1: the stop command does not work. I suspect due to an issue with where the daemon puts the pid file. Issue 2: chkconfig says that the "service ventrilo does not support chkconfig". The script is below.
#!/bin/bash # ventrilo server # Pull in init.d functions . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions VENPATH=/etc/ventrilo VENBIN=/usr/bin/ventrilo_srv
I've AMD64 system with Ubuntu 11.04 installed. It's been rough ride for me to install oracle-xe-universal. I've already spent more than 2 days on this. Still unsuccessful.
1) First I downloaded the packages libaio_0.3.104-1_i386.deb and oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb
(gave me dependency error for libc6 (>= 2.3.2), I modified the control file to remove dependency and rebuilt the package) (now worked fine) Oracle xe is now installed. Then I tried to start the DB it started but it's HTTP client never started. So I decided to uninstall the oracle-xe=universal. None of the sudo apt-get remove oracle-xe-universal command's didn't worked for me. So i went for manual uninstallation directions as per oracle link.
rocky@ubuntu:~/git/mygit/edas2/libaio$ sudo dpkg -i --force-architecture oracle-xe-universal_10.2.0.1-1.1_i386.deb dpkg: warning: overriding problem because --force enabled: package architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)

Even in applications menu I don't see the if oracle has been installed. So i conclude first time installation was ok but somehow http client didn't worked. After manual uninstallation, second installation didn't even loaded/installed the oracle-xe in init.d directory.
I have two ubuntu servers. I have upgraded them to 10.04. Now I have serious problems at startup: iscsitarget and heartbeat scripts do not start all the times I reboot.I have installed monit to try to start iscsitarget and heartbeat and guess what? It does not start too at boot.In one of the two server sometimes it also starts with ethernet cards swapped.
How can I find the order of stated services in boot process? For example I want to check which one runs first: /etc/fstab or networking? I am using ubuntu server 10.04
While I was using my computer a few days ago, the terminal stopped working properly, so I tried to reboot, and when it started up again it wouldn't boot and said "no init found. try passing init=bootarg"
This has happened twice before, so I really need to figure out what keeps happening, otherwise I can't continue to use linux. i reinstalled both times before. i think that this is caused by a process that prevents me from using the hard drive, because when I try to check the disk in the terminal or in gparted, it says Device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda1. Filesystem mounted or opened exclusively by another program?
Also, in the disk utility, in the lower right corner of the filesystem it has a spinning "loading wheel".(i'm not sure if that means anything)
I am using ubuntu 10.10, but am not sure what kernel I am using, but i tried a few different kernel options(there's three of them at start up). safe mode does not work either.
I have renamed two services by replacing S with K in rc2 and then tried to # update-rc.d script defaults and i get update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencingupdate-rc.d: error: unable to read /etc/init.d/script Obviously my command syntax is wrong. I have read the manpage but still do not understand what i have to type.
I'm running openSUSE 11.1. When I'm in Gnome or KDE or any Desktop session, the X server keeps running when I do an init 3, (i.e.) I'm still in the GUI instead of going to the console. When I type runlevel it shows that I'm in runlevel 3, but the X server is still running. The X server is not getting killed on an init 3.
I have written an init script and placed it in /etc/init.d/ directory.What I would like to know is, will the script run automatically or we need to install the script using "install_initd" command.If I have to invoke this command manullay, what will be the best place to do this ? Can I add this to "/etc/init.d/rcS" file
openSUSE 10.3 on Itronix IX260+ Stuck on command line, init 3, and all attempts at graphic init 5 fail. Get these messages:(EE) No devices detected; Fatal screen error: no screens found; AIGLX disabled Primary Device is PCI 01:00:0kernel:device-mapper:multipath round-robin:version 1.0.0 loaderkernel:device-mapper:table:253:0:multipath: error getting device kernel:device-mapper:ioctl: error adding target to tableProblem would seem to be with the device-mapper, but have no idea how to fix it.
I have tried to abstract as much of that away as possible. The options specify a pid file, to make a pid file. A subsequent line tries to establish whether the process is up, though I think several conditions are not checked for. This script seems pretty ropey to me. I am trying to start again with the lsb-base one in /etc/init.d/skeleton though that is going to require a lot of modification. get the code change to use the syslog API however that is out of the question at least for now.
1.) Create a named pipe 2.) Start up a logger daemon that reads from the named pipe 3.) start up the server process that writes to the named pipe
It would be ideal for this if start-stop-daemon offered options to specify where the IO of the daemon process should be redirected to. However I am not about to offer to adopt that package (with ~400 bugs) so I doubt that will happen. Trying to specify the redirection on the command line does not work. In the case of the logger daemon start-stop-daemon seems to hang on the system call. In the case of the server process the pipe gets closed when start-stop-daemon exits, so the logger daemon exits. None of that seems surprising.So what I am doing now is to write simple wrapper scripts for the server and logger processes. Both wrapper scripts have this structure:
1.) sanity check the arguments 2.) exec program [suitable redirection of IO]
Then the start-stop-daemon can call the wrapper scripts as daemons. From my experiments so far this seems to work. However I feel a bit uncomfortable with this. It introduces several new wrapper scripts.I cannot think of any obvious security holes but I suppose race conditions are inevitable.
I have installed the Apache Directory Server (ApacheDS) Now I need a iniscript that startining the App as Root, so that it can use the Port 389. After them a unprivileged User (apachds) should run the Service. The same solution I am searching for Glassfish. What can I use for them? RHEL and compatibles doesn't have a start-stop-daemon like Debian.
I am facing issue in ntp, it is getting killed frequently. see below error; # /etc/init.d/ntpd status ntpd dead but pid file exists After starting service it is works fine but again after sometimes it get in dead postition.
I am novice in linux and I have installed linux ES in my previous window desktop it was working fine. I try to make a bootidisk and system is not booting anymore. Following error I am getting at the booting time.
I have a VPS that has 512MB of ram. I'm using it as a mail/web server. It keeps running out of memory. I know amavis/clamav are memory hogs, but I checked my ps aux and found 100's of instances of "apache-init-server" running. I killed them all, and they keep spawning back. What could be causing this. I've never seen this on a webserver before. OS: CentOS 5.5
I have a server running Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES (2.6.9.55.ELsmp). When it starts up I get the following error: Uncompressing Linux... Ok, booting the kernel. Red Hat nash version 4.2.1.10 starting WARNING: can't access (null) exec of init ((null)) failed!!!: 14 unmount /initrd/dev failed: 2 Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
After that I got no response from the OS. I have the installation CD, so I tried to start the rescue mode, while going through the steps I received an error stating that mounting to /mnt/sysimage failed and that if I want to I can access a shell. I really don't know what to do from here
iam trying to sync file server data into backup server machine by command- rsync -avu path/of/data ipaddress-of-backup-server:/path/where/to/save after running it ask for root password and manually it is successful.but i want to make it automatic.for that i also tried cronjob and also generated authentication key but iam not successful in login automatically..anybody know how to authenticate root to login for storing data in backup server.
i want to disable the su command on a server so that users cant run the su command i removed the comment from the 3 and 5 line in /etc/pam.d/su file but it doesnt seem to work the file is shown below
#%PAM-1.0 auth sufficient pam_rootok.so # Uncomment the following line to implicitly trust users in the "wheel" group.
