Adding services - naming convention
« on: February 09, 2002, 12:21:41 AM »
I am using a 3ware raid card on my server, and I have installed the 3ware raid monitoring service that comes with the card so I can check the "health" of the array through a web browser.  This service is named 3w-xxxx and is located in /etc/rc.d/init.d, but it is called from a symlink  called 3dmd in the same location.  I have added the service entry in the configuration database with the following:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration set 3dmd service InitscriptOrder 40 status enabled

and I have made the appropriate symlink in /etc/rc.d/rc7.d with the following:

ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/e-smith-service /etc/rc.d/rc7.d/S403dmd

The problem is that the 3dmd service doesn't always start when I reboot.  I'm wondering if the problem is that I have ended up with a 3 digit number in my symlink (S*403*dmd) and if this is causing my problem.  Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions they could share on the subgect?

Thanks.

I believe that e-smith starts services located in rc5.d directory on startup
