It is not a good practice to put executeables there. For example, /etc/init.d/asterisk runs /usr/sbin/safe-asterisk. The scenario I typically use is that /etc/init.d/foo runs /usr/local/bin/bar and puts its’ output in /var/log/foobar.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com [mailto:asterisk-users-bounces@lists.digium.com] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Bryant Zimmerman<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, January 17, 2012 8:12 AM<br><b>To:</b> asterisk-users@lists.digium.com<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [asterisk-users] /etc/init.d script and calling asterisk command line.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>I have written a program that monitors asterisk to make sure my peers and channels are all in good order. The program calls asterisk once a min and then parses the output. The program works fine when launched from the command line. I then wrote a script to launch the program with the hope of launching it on boot up from /etc/init.d. When I log into a terminal session and run the script I am able to start/stop/status on the program and all is good. When I copy the same script to the /etc/init.d folder and run it the program fails to be able to access the asterisk bin. <br>In all three cases I am logged in as root. The script is owned by root and all it's permissions set. Anyone have any idea why running my startup script from the /etc/init.d folder would act differently?<br><br>I am running asterisk 1.8.x, On opensuse 11.x.
