Init script not called during system shutdown

[Ravi Shanmugam]

Hi Nickolas,

Try to modify the start and stop script as follows.

# cat /etc/init.d/ora-as1
#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for Oracle AS 10g R2
# chkconfig: 345 86 14
#
# description:  Bla bla bla

start() {
         su -c "opmnctl startall" - ora-as1
         su -c "emctl start iasconsole" - ora-as1
         touch /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1
}

stop() {
         wall "Stopping ora-as1"
         echo "`date` - Stopping ora-as1" >> /var/log/oracleas10gr2.log
         su -c "emctl stop iasconsole" - ora-as1
         su -c "opmnctl stopall" - ora-as1
	   rm -f /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1
}

i.e add "touch /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1" in start() function and add "rm
-f /var/lock/subsys/ora-as1" in your stop() function.

This will work.

Regds,
Rav

Hello,

I'm using an up-to-date Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 (64 bits) system
and I'd like to setup a startup/shutdown script to manage an Oracle AS
10g R2 installation.

The script works fine (start/stop/restart) when called from a bash
prompt and it's launched at system startup with no problem.

The issue is that it's no called at all when the system shuts down, I
checked runlevels, permissions for the script, I even put some "wall" 
and "echo" in it...

I try different priorities, different script names, different shells,
it's always the same. The only particularity of the script is that the
commands I launch need to run under a user with no privileges, I use
"su" for that.

(Once again, everything works when it's called from a shell, so doesn't
seem to be "su"-related and the "wall" and "echo" command that should be
exectued in root aren't executed)

I have absolutely no idea why this happens...
