Topic: Sybase won't start on bootup

[Joe Frost]

Hi,

I've got the free version of Sybase (11.0.3.3) installed on my ES4.1.1 server with the startup script /etc/rc.d/init.d/sybase and a link from /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S96sybase to it.

I've looked for similar threads in the forums and from what I can tell the above is correct but my server doesn't start on boot.

If I execute either of the above followed by start then the server comes up and all is well.

I'm stumped.

Thanks in advance to anyone that can shed any light on this one.

Joe

    e-smith runs at runlevel 7, not runlevel 3, so your link in rc3.d isn't going to help you.  Make the same link in rc7.d, and you should be all set.
