Software :: Samba Refuses To Start On Startup - But Will Start Manually
Apr 14, 2009I just moved my / from sda1 to an ide drive, hde1. i dont see how this could have caused any of these issues, but it did.
First my network card failed to start. i added a line in my rc.local file (where i put all of my additional programs, etc i want to start):/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1
The above now starts my network card with my static ip configured. dhcpcd also worked but i wanted this static.
Now samba will not start. i have the following line in my rc.local: /etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start
This used to work just fine. at first i thought that samba may be trying to start before my network card gets an ip, but the line is *after* the network startup line. just to make sure, i made an additional script called startsamba which contained a sleep 60 followed by samba start, to delay the startup of samba even further.
The message samba reports is very vague, something like failed - core dumped. most of the core dump log is garbage characters, but here is the beginning which seems like it might contain some info:
Code:
ERROR: Can't log to stdout (-S) unless daemon is in foreground (-F) or interactive (-i) after the system starts, i can drop to a console and type "/etc/rc.d/init.d/samba start" and the service starts just fine. i've also tried starting samba manually with "smbd -d" which also produces the core dump when started from rc.local, but not when started from a console after startup.

Apr 18, 2010I'm looking to make a launching script which launches a program in one of the current directories that the user has open, the problem is I have no idea how to get info about all of the terminals open.I simply want to check which directories the user has open and do a pwd on the terminals, and then use that to cd into the dir before launching. I might be able to use a combo of who,tty, top, and pwd...but I don't know where to go.

General :: Execute A Shell Script On Startup?
Mar 31, 2010I have create a script to start a server(my first question). Now I want it to run on the system boot and start the defined server. What should I do to get this done? My findings tell me put this file in /etc/init.d location and it will execute when the system will boot. But I am not able to understand how the first argument on the startup will be start? Is this predefined somewhere to use start as $1? If I want to have a case startall that will start all the servers in the script, then what are the options I can manage.
My Script is like this:
#!/bin/bash
case "$1" in
start)

CentOS 5 :: Run Shell Script At System Startup?
Apr 28, 2011I use CentOS 5.5 and I've trouble in run shell script after system reboot. That script runs jboss server and it looks that way:
#!/bin/sh
rm -R -f /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/tmp/
rm -R -f /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/work/
/opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/bin/run.sh -c default -b 0.0.0.0 -C /opt/billing/jboss-6.0.0.M1/server/default/lib/ > /dev/null &
I've created user account for jboss.
privileges of above script are okay. I've tried so far:
- add command to /etc/rc.local
- add script to /etc/rc3.d/ and create symbolic link to it in /etc/init.d/
- add run script by @reboot annotation in crontab (crond automatically starts with OS)
and jboss still sleeps after reboot. I've noticed that commands which remove directories seem to work when I've added them explictly to /etc/rc.local. But next command which runs jboss hasn't been executed.

View 10 Replies View RelatedSlackware :: Unclear Screen - Move Aside All Shell Startup Scripts?
Mar 18, 2010using any sort of rxvt-based terminal with TERM set to rxvt (or rxvt-unicode) then ^L will not clear the screen, only act as newline. This is not the behavior I see on Debian or CentOS. I have the same user environment at each site. Using urxvt on centos, ^L will clear the screen like readline(3) says it should. If I then ssh to slackware, it won't. exporting TERM=xterm will cause the correct behavior after having logged in to slackware, but I'd rather understand why this is happening. I've tried moving aside all the shell startup scripts, setting clear-screen explicitly in .inputrc, setting stty sane nothing doing. Am I missing something?

Ubuntu :: Alacarte Won't Start Up From The Shell
Jan 8, 2010When I try to start alacarte from the shell, I get: Traceback (most recent call last):
[Code]...
The reason I start from the shell is because I noticed that it would crash after starting up in system monitor. This problem started after I tried to remove a program from the list which had already been manually removed. When this program was unchecked, the list went completely blank. I tried to revert the list, but it didn't work. Is there any hopes of repair?
Ubuntu :: Getting Conky To Start At Startup?
Apr 6, 2010As the title implies, I have fluxbox and conky running in Karmic. The problem is getting conky to start at startup. Below is my ~/.fluxbox/startup file. I have searched and tried everything I have found to get it to work. Conky works beautifully when I run it manually. Anyway, here is my startup file:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
xmodmap "/home/doug/.Xmodmap"
unclutter -idle 2 &
conky &
exec fluxbox -log "/home/doug/.fluxbox/log"
Lines added before and after the conky line run perfectly. Unclutter runs, but no conky.

View 8 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: GUI Doesn't Always Start On Startup (Kubuntu)
Mar 13, 2010A lot of times when I start up my computer, instead of the graphical login screen I'm brought to a CLI login. If I log in and do "startx," it'll start KDE, but sound doesn't work and the shutdown/restart options disappear. (The logout option is still there.) It's inconsistent; sometimes it'll start the GUI and sometimes it won't. I have yet to find out what causes it to work right and what causes it to bring me to the CLI. When it doesn't work, if I run "shutdown -r now" or "shutdown -h now," it'll start the GUI as the computer is shutting down. I've tried Ctrl+Alt+F7 when it's brought me to the CLI, but it didn't do anything

Ubuntu :: Samba On Startup - Does Not Start The Printer Sharing
Aug 14, 2010Using 10.04. I use one machine mostly as a printer server: If it goes down for whatever reason I want to restart without having to enter any password. Samba seems to start and allow file shares, but does not start the printer sharing so I must manually enter "sudo restart smbd" to allow the printer sharing. From reading the various threads I guess that the samba "start command" is before the printers are "initialized" and thus are not "setup". So how can I make the samba "startup" last after everything else? I am not enough familiar with all of the commands to understand the thread posting to make it work.
View 2 Replies View RelatedUbuntu :: Upgrade To 10.04 And On Start Desktop Doesn't Startup
Sep 3, 2010I recently updated to Ubuntu 10.04. On this same machine I've used Ubuntu for 3 or 4 years now. Upgrading from 8 - 9 - 10. I love Ubuntu and use it as my everyday work environment. Anyway, recently when I start my machine in the morning it boots to commandline instead of the desktop. For the last couple days I boot to safe-mode and do a package repair. Sometimes more than once. Eventually I get the desktop to start but it is annoying. When trying to boot to Fail Safe Graphics Mode(?) I get an error stating: "Fatal Server Error: No Screens." The message referred me to /var/log/Xorg/failsafe.log. Here is a snippet of the end of that log file:

Also, I'm using an NVidia graphics card on an HP machine. I installed the "current version" accelerated graphics driver which it says is proprietary.
