[nos-bbs] Ubuntu 10.04 autoboot JNOS & respawn

[Wm Lewis]

Another thought.
 
These command appear to work when I manally enter them at a different console **BECAUSE I'M LOGGED IN AS ROOT**
 
During a power up boot, **THE SCRIPTS CALLED ARE NOT ROOT**   Which could be why they fail.
 
So, again I'll ask.... do any of theses commands require some sort of SU or SUDO injection in them?

ok, here's the next problem..
 
>From concole 4, I typed what you said, and console 5 did come to life.
 
The issue was now JNOS could not find the "autoexec.nos" file because 
the "startnos" crashed on the very first command of "cd /jnos"

So... now what?

The error is in "startnos".


In your "startnos" file you have:

exec /jnos/jnos -d/jnos -v </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 
             
The error is "jnos -d/jnos -v"


You should use:


exec /jnos/jnos -d  -v </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 

-----

tty5.conf itself is OK

I tried updating as you said. Still no Joy.  
 
Do I need to be using some sort of SUDO command in any of this for it to work on boot?
 
Here are my updated files. 
 
"startnos" file (in /jnos directory
==============================================
cd /jnos
rm -f /jnos/spool/mqueue/*.lck 2> /dev/null
rm -f /jnos/spool/mail/*.lck 2> /dev/null
export TZ=PST8PDT
exec /jnos/jnos -d/jnos -v </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 
==============================================
 
and the "tty5.conf" file
 
==============================================
# tty5 - getty
#
# This service maintains a getty on tty5 from the point the system is
# started until it is shut down again.
 
start on runlevel [23]
stop on runlevel [!23]
 
respawn
exec /jnos/startnos
==============================================
 
What am I missing ?

Bill:

To start it in  virtual tty5 add </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 to the "exec"
line in your startnos file.

like:

exec ./jnos  -g2 -w7+4 -d  </dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 


export TERM=linux is not necessary


Don't use tty5 (or whatever console not in use) to your tty5.conf file if you use 
</dev/tty5>/dev/tty5 2>&1 , etc  in your startnos file.




You can stop and start tty5 with the commands:

initctl stop tty5
initctl start tty5
