To whom it may concern: I am running into an issue using rc.conf to run applications at startup. Specifically, nagios, and mysql. When the system boots, it goes to a command prompt at the stage of the boot process when those applications would be run and then stops. If I exit out of the prompt, booting continues normally.
I believe I have traced the problem to the su command which is used in the rc. In attempting to run the mysql w/ mysql_enable="YES" in the rc.conf, it su's to the mysql account and is supposed to run a command and exit. It su's to mysql OK, but never runs the command and exits. I have attempted this manually and received the same results. This system is running FreeBSD 5.3. I have another system which uses FreeBSD 5.2.1 and doesn't have this problem. I'm not sure if this is a security fix that has been implemented in 5.3 or if the issue lies elsewhere. I have been able to implement a workaround to make them work by changing their startup scripts to not use su, but would like to resolve the issue. I have check the problem reports on the FreeBSD website and don't see anything that appears to be related. I have also google'd this and found nothing. I also didn't find anything in the manual. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
