As writing an init configuration is not the easiest thing,
|
||
|
|
here are some problems (P) and debugging hints (H):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P: There's no output!
|
||
|
|
H: If you don't start a service which outputs something there won't be any,
|
||
|
|
cinit starts up silently.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P: Service XYZ seems not to work?
|
||
|
|
H: Try the following in your shell:
|
||
|
|
cd /etc/cinit/the-service; ./on "$(on.params)"
|
||
|
|
If that succeeds it has perhaps something missing which should have been
|
||
|
|
started before.
|
||
|
|
H: Create a test-service, which contains the following:
|
||
|
|
on: link to /bin/echo
|
||
|
|
on.params: "A test string" (with or without the quotes)
|
||
|
|
Now add the test-service to the needs directory of service XYZ.
|
||
|
|
If you see output the next time, the service is started.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise you forgot to make another service dependent on service
|
||
|
|
XYZ.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P: How can I test if a non-outputting service successfully started?
|
||
|
|
H: Create another service, which depends on your service and make
|
||
|
|
it echo something.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
P: Does that profile support really work?
|
||
|
|
H: Try that: cprofile:NONEXISTENT and you'll see.
