Hi,I wonder if anyone can help.
I have installed Domino 6.5 on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 8. The installation went fine, and the server runs up no problem if I start it manually.
I, like lots of other people on this forum, now want to start it as a service (I hope thats the right terminology - I’m from an NT background !!) - an auto startup script when the system boots.
I have found a script on this forum, and its based around starting the server process with the & param to effectivly spawn it as a background task.
eg: /opt/lotus/notes/server </dev/null >/home/notes/server.log &
However, as the server process is starting - albeit in the background - I think for every line that it is outputing to stdout, I get a carriage return at the prompt.
Perhaps I’m not being clear with this - its very hard to explain !
How about this …
I login as notes, and issue the command to start the server manually becuase I’m debugging this whole process !. Lets assume that as soon as I have started the server and got my prompt back I want to issue the dir command:
notes@clownfish:/local/notesdata> /opt/lotus/bin/server </dev/null >/home/notes/server.log &
[1] 4896
notes@clownfish:/local/notesdata> d
-bash: d: command not found
notes@clownfish:/local/notesdata> i
-bash: i: command not found
notes@clownfish:/local/notesdata> r
-bash: r: command not found
See …
This happens for about 30 seconds - I guess whilst there is lots of output from the server console as it starts up.
And it makes issuing commands quite difficult !!
Anyone else seen anything like this ?? I’m sure its me doing something wrong, as I’m sure this used to work for me,
Cheers
Nathan
