In regard to: [Networker] Confusion over chkconfig values for networker?,...:
Can someone please tell me what the chkconfig values should be for networker?
The startup script itself (/etc/init.d/networker) has the line '# chkconfig:
35 95 05'
Then that's what the chkconfig value should be.
That tells me that there should be an 'S95networker' under /etc/rc3.d and
rc5.d only.
Also, there should be a 'K05networker' under /etc/rc0.d. BUT, on these snodes,
there's
also an 'S95networker' under rc2.d and rc4.d, and I guess that makes sense
given the
chkconfig values, but this is beyond the values (35) that the actual init.d
script says.
It's not like it says '2345 95 05'.
You don't say what version of NetWorker you're using, which is probably
relevant. Run
rpm -q --scripts lgtoclnt
and look at the preinstall and postinstall scripts. You'll probably note
that the scripts don't fully utilize chkconfig -- the symlinks are created
and removed manually (in some cases), rather than just doing
chkconfig --add networker
or
chkconfig --del networker
The rpms for NetWorker have gotten better over the years, but they're
still not perfect. It's possible the discrepancy you're seeing is a
product of the way things are done -- partially the chkconfig way,
partially the way that's compatible with UNIX platforms.
1. Should I chkconfig those two values off?
chkconfig --level 24 networker off
If it's really bugging you, go ahead. You should know (after the next
reboot) if that was a mistake or not. I suspect not. Alternately, you
could completely reinstall the software on your storage node, and see if
the discrepancy still exists after the reinstall.
2. Are these supposed to be 'on' maybe for snodes but 'off' for regular
clients?
I don't think so.
3. Just for laughs, I chkconfiged level 2 'on' for a regular client and then
'off' again,
and it creates the '/etc/rc2.d/S95networker' sym link when you turn it on, and
then removes it
and adds a 'K05networker' when you turn it off.
Which is exactly what chkconfig should be doing based on the settings in
the script.
Does it make sense to still
have the K05networker
sym link there???
Yes, based on the chkconfig values in the script.
