Red Hat / Fedora :: Services Start Then Stop After Few Minutes
May 7, 2009
I have several services set to start in init 3 on a cloud provider. The init scripts appear to be in the correct folder but the services are never started after a reboot. I finally watched the console and all the services start correctly then shutdown after a few moments.
I am trying to give access to ONE single user to start and shutdown tomcat server. The problem being, when I enter syntax: username ALL= /etc/init.d/tomcat5, /usr/local/tomcat/webapps, PASSWD:ALL This gives the user access to start and stop tomcat but also gives user access to start and stop other services within /etc/init.d - such as httpd etc... What is the proper way to give user access to start and stop service, and limiting that power to only one service....
With the advent of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS People are migrating servers to the latest LTS. One fundamental thing that has changed is the move to Upstart. In the old days to stop multidaemon service such as Samba, one would simply type /etc/init.d/samba stop and to disable it from starting on boot one would simply type update-rcd samba disable.
Now its the year 2010 and in 10.04 it seems on has to edit a bunch of files, etc. Is there not an easy tool to correctly and properly disable services on startup in 10.04 consistently? in Redhat/Mandrake 10 years ago it was simply
Code: service smb off In Ubuntu 10.04 its 1) edit /etc/init/smbd.conf and modify the line that says Code: stop on runlevel [!2345] and change it to
[Code]...
And one has to remember all these changes when the get ready to enable the samba service in the future? This can't be right.I know I must be missing something here. or maybe overlooked something in the upstart documentation.Which seems quite sparse by the way. So the question remains. How does one simply disable a multidaemon service starting on boot such as samba. Any tool to do this ? Is the above the correct method recommended by Canonical to disable services? and enable them?
I installed MySQL and Apache2 to develop & test out the site I'm writing. However since I'll be using them purely for internal use (not exposed to the Net), I don't want them to start with every boot-up, but would like to start them manually when I desire, and stop them after use.With previous Ubuntu (Jaunty) I'd used chkconfig to configure services, but since the current version (Maverick) uses Upstart, is chkconfig still applicable?
I also installed 'bum' (Boot-Up Manager), but strangely, it displays the MySQL server as "unchecked" even though it's running (and starts at boot-up), so I cant see how I can prevent it from starting at boot-up through bum. chkconfig also displays MySQL as not active at runlevel 5, when in fact, it is.
I'd like to know what's the recommended (official) way to configure boot-up services with the Upstart system? I don't suppose directly editing the *.conf files in /etc/init is the best (or even correct) way?
I'm using debian 5 x64 with xfce.Is there a way to configure (start/stop/restart) services (especially Apache2, mySQL and PHP) using a graphical or cli tool? I tried to use sysv-rc, sysv-rc-conf, rcconf and rc-conf in the terminal but Bash didn't find them (Although Synaptic show that sysv-rc is installed).
Currently using oracle 9i with 3 database(maindb,arist,samp) in redhat 5.3 server .I want to stop 2 database "maindb" and "samp" manually ( in XP or Vista we can stop service oraclemaindb and oraclesamp ), but in redhat i dont know how to stop services and how to see currently running oracle services.
I can view my website, and ssh in when I've logged in already at home, but if the system gets rebooted, and gets as far as the login screen, I am not able to view the web site or ssh in. I was wondering how to set things up so thatthese services are running independent of logging in.
I have 2 services registered one for HAProxy and one for stunnel. When I type service start haproxy or service start stunnel they start and everything works fine. I ran ntsysv and they are set as autostart, and I have init.d scripts that work. I have checked the runlevel and using chkconfig runlevel 3, 4 and 5 are :on. And I also added service haproxy start and service stunnel start to inittab. But when I restart the computer haproxy and stunnel fail to autostart. I am a fedora novice and I have no idea why this isn't working...
I have installed fedora 13 , 86_64. and was working fine until now. The problem was that JEXEC service Froze while booting. So I removed it /etc/init.d. The next time when I booted ATD service Froze, so I removed it by the same way. Next it was the turn of CROND followed by KSM , KSMTUNED. Then came ABRT-DAEMON which I had to type a #yum erase abrt* command. Finally it came to the turn of SM-CLIENT. I don't know where it is or what it is. Didn't find quality posts on the internet. What the heck should I do and I dont want to do a reinstall.
Whenever I start up my laptop running Fedora 14, I notice that it says that it is failing to connect to my default wireless network since the wireless card is not activated. Since it appears that the wireless card is not activated until the NetworkManager service is started, is there anyway for me to set NetworkManager to start before this check is made? Boot message log is attached. [URL]
Hardware: Toshiba NB200 with Atom 280 & 2GB, 160 GB HD Everything works great except the boot time. My default boot is F11 & when the system starts in "yuk" Windows it only takes a few seconds! but when I start in F11 it takes 15 - 20 minutes for it to start. No error messages, nothing in dmesg, standard configuration. The same system with Win XP & F10 worked fine?
Last time I installed the ATI graphics driver on my PC, it was'nt working fine so I uninstalled that driver. I restarted the PC after uninstalling the driver but then, when PC boots and start running the services the screen just hangs and I don't get into the desktop.
I tried to run the xfs service using service xfs restart and also gdm service using service gdm restart, but in both the cases it shows that Unrecognized Service. So, I think it means that the package for xfs and gdm service is not available in my PC. Is that so?
I tried to get into the desktop by running startx but it gave the following error :-
Fatal Server Error: no screen found
consult the fedora project support at [URL] for help.
check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.0.log" for additional information.
giving up
xinit: connection refused (errno 111): unable to connect to X server xinit: no such process (errno 3): server error.
I am working on a notebook which has both gnome and wmii. I am trying to find a way to script stopping various services when booting into wmii however the "service xxx stop" requires sudo..Is there a way to allow a user to manage services without the need for sudo (aside from password-less sudo)? I assume there are permissions complications with writing the PIDs, etc. Is there a 'simple' solution? Even possible passwordless sudo just for the 'service' command?
I feel sure there must be an easy solution, but Im damned if I can find it. Im sure I've looked everywhere. Even when Im watching ....., the screen goes dark and when I touch the mouse, Im asked for my password again. It really is very very annoying. I go and make a drink, come back, and there it is again - I have to type my password again.

I did a clean install of Ubuntu 11.04 64bit and the start up time is abnormally slow. If I start up the computer and don't press anything, the start up time is 30 minutes but it usually doesn't start up at all. It just boots into a purple screen, no splash, then it sits there and the computer doesn't have any loading lights flashing.
I had a similar problem with 10.10, but I assumed it would go away when I did a clean install of 11.04.
I can't get a read out of what's going wrong because when I press Esc it doesn't display anything, though weirdly it can sometimes get the start up process moving. I have also found that pressing enter really fast can sometimes help and something that seems completely oxymoronic, if I press the power button while it's starting up that can make it work, but nothing works every time.
Just installed 5.3/gnome.I am on pc/desktop with only wired internet connection via routerto dsl-modem. The OS sets-up the "eth0" automatically.For just this type of setup what services can I disable and uncheck ? In System>Admin.>Services I unchecked and disabled bluetooth,isdn,pcscd and sshd. Should I disable sendmail, avahi-daemon, portmap,rpcidmapd,rpcgssd and.apmd(no laptop)? Goal is to minimize unneeded services and improve security. The wiki article on securing CentOS did not cover this.Under System>Security Level Configuration I allow ftp,Mail(smtp), and WWW(HTTP). Is the ftp allowed ok for my pc/desktop?
Xubuntu 9.10 on a DELL Inspiron 1150.I have a problem with intermittent dropping of my wireless connection ( see Belkin 7010 thread).Once dropped, the wireless will NOT reconnect (It just sits there saying "connecting" but never does) Same happens if I manually disconnect - I can never re-connect. On rebooting it will reconnect fine & all is well for sometimes 4 hrs.How can I kill all wireless services & restart them without having to reboot the laptop?
Every now and then on my non-graphical console-orientated Debian Squeeze system, some services see it fit to spill their juices all over what I am doing.
A message about a service stopping/starting/restarting prints at the location of my cursor ontop of whatever I was doing at that moment, forcing me to either redraw ( if the currently running application supports it ), background and then foreground what I'm doing or clear the screen if at the shell.
Code: * Restarting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd * Restarting advanced system logger rsyslogd How can I stop these messages appearing? Even better would be to send them to /dev/tty8 where I've configured rsyslogd to write.
What is the correct way to stop upstart services from staring at boot time ? I'm doing something like this example in /etc/init/mysql.conf:
Code: #start on (net-device-up # and local-filesystems # and runlevel [2345]) start on runlevel [!0123456] # I ADDED THIS LINE (and commented the above ones) stop on runlevel [016]
1. Is this the correct way ?
2. Is there no way of doing something like we do with update-rc.d -f apache2 remove ?
3. When will ubuntu ship a gui to add or remove services from boot ?
My network interaces stop working after 5-10 minutes of operation. I have 2 network cards, one static IP and the other dhcp. Sometimes I can ping my router, other times I can't.
I would like to start and stop rtorrent based on my screensaver. I used to do this awhile ago with ubuntu and still have my script. However now I am using Fedora with KDE and the script no longer seems to work.
#!/usr/bin/perl #gnome my $cmd = "dbus-monitor --session "type='signal',interface='org.gnome.ScreenSaver',member='SessionIdleChanged'""; open (IN, "$cmd |"); while (<IN>) { if (m/^s+boolean true/) { #when screensaver activates, run the following commands #system("/home/eric/compiled/scripts/rtorrentstart"); system("touch /home/asoukenka/rtorrenthasstarted"); } elsif (m/^s+boolean false/) { #when screensaver deactivates, run the following commands #system("kill `pgrep rtorrent`"); system("touch /home/asoukenka/rtorrenthasbeenkilled"); } } Old Post [URL].
I buy a new usb network adapter (Through DX), when I try to use it in ubuntu or BackTrack4 Final it is working, and connecting networks even with WPA encryption. But after few minuts it stops working totally. It is showing that I'm connected to the AP but web sites do not respond.
Notes: - I have another PCI Wireless adapter which works fine.
- The problematic adapter works great on windows.
- A driver CD came with it, including a linux driver which I wasn't succesfully installed.
- A BackTrack3 Disc came with it, claming by the instructions that the adapter will work with it. I didn't try it because i have backtrack 4 final.
It took me dozens of surfing the web hours, and too many restarts,
i finished installing oracle 11g r2 with EM but i cant find any good script that will close the database completely before rebooting they all start it correctly but for the shutdown they don't wait and the database restart in recovery mode
