RE: [Info-ingres] Starting Ingres at boot time




Thanks Mike and thanks to everyone who posted. RedHat and Slackware appear
to quite different, but I should be able to figure it out.

Hi all,
I am running 3.0.2 on Slackware 10.1.
How do I start Ingres at boot time? I have set the sticky bit on
"ingstart" and put it in rc.local and rc.M, but it still knows that
root is running the command and fails. I know I have done this on
Unix about 100 years ago, but I can't remember the trick.

The trick, as Ronald correctly points out in his reply, is to use "su".
Attached is the /etc/init.d/ingresII script that is created during an RPM
install on RedHat or SuSE (if the default II_INSTALLATION of II is used).
I know the Slackware startup scripts are a bit different, but the gist of
the matter is the same. The script is attached, renamed to ingresII.txt to
keep mailers happy. A companion sample bash script, .ingIIbash (for the
ingres login id), is attached as ingIIbash.txt.
