inittab 2

[vlz]

Hi,
I'd like to run my script from /etc/inittab
I add the following line to it:
infx:3456nce:/tmp/for_test >/dev/console 2>&1

The script has -rwxr-x-r-x permission

The script content:
-------------------------------------------
#!/bin/ksh

echo "running for_test script"
touch /tmp/for_test.log
-------------------------------------------

But after reboot I don't see /tmp/for_test.log file created
Also:
/var/adm/ras: alog -f console -o
doesn't show me any relevant message.

What is the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Vadim

Perhaps an inittab line somewhere before this specific line has mode "wait" and isn't finishing so as to hand over control to subsequent inittab lines?

It would help if you show the complete inittab contents.

Also, [tt]who -a[/tt] might show some clues.


HTH,

Hi,

I'd try activating the script for ALL runlevels, just in case ...

Like this:

infx:0123456789nce:/tmp/for_test >/dev/console 2>&1

Thanks for your help!
The problem was that AIX default run level is 2
(and not 3 as in SunOS and HP-UX)
