sshd cups and other services not running

English Install/Boot/Login
1

I made the last updates of opensuse 11.1 and now many services are not working.
They’re still in the services list and they should autostart bu when I check their status I find them not running
I tried to do
init S
and then
init 5
and all the services work correctly.

this is the /var/log/boot.omsg

It seems that during the boot it closes the services that should be kept active
do you know how can I fix this problem

I’m having the same problem on my 11.1 install. The services I’m most concerned with is sshd and mysql. I could start them manually, but this gets very annoying.

Hi,

That is not what happens on boot but on reboot (runlevel 6). The o in boot.omsg means old. So this file doesn’t tell you what happened whilst booting the actual session but the last session shut down or reboot included. The actual boot messages you find in boot.msg. Is there a line like which informs you about failed or skipped services? Also you should have a look at /var/log/messages and all log files of services that don’t start.

Bye

It could be that the jexec service is hanging and causing the other services not to start. I found this post. I haven’t tried it yet, but it looks promissing.

I’ll remove the jexec from runlevels 3 and 5 and see if it helps on reboot.

The post above me is correct - the broken jexec from the Sun Java package is causing the failure to start the services.

Had this on several machines until I pinpointed the issue and nuked the Sun packages.
