init.d and application loading

Hey all,

I am working on adding some material to the init.d section of
several servers. I am adding a script which loads a custom
application for 7 users. Getting this script to run on boot is not a
problem so far.....

the problem is that the script only gets to 3 or 4 of the users
applications on boot. I can run this script manually, so I know its
not a permission issue.

Im guessing that loading all 7 of these applications is either
taking too long or using too many resources - or both. After doing
some reading Im wondering if the 'batch' or 'at' commands might help
to alleviate any load issues on boot and allow all 7 applications to
start everytime the server does.....

I would be grateful for any suggestions or comments. This would make
my life a lot easier as this is effecting 7 or more users over 15
servers - and will grow monthly.

Re: init.d and application loading

Glenn,

Thanks for the thought.... I have tried using 'sleep 15' after a
call to load each application. Didnt seem to help at all.

/root/gsg/bin/start_server user1
sleep 15

/root/gsg/bin/start_server user2
sleep 15

etc....

I looked at the boot.log and it seems it starts all the
applications, but completes only 8 out of 11 (on one server). The
'boot.log' file indicates that the application processes are
overlapping - the log has entries for one application finishing
after another started, etc.

So, maybe I will increase the sleep to 45 seconds?
