Hi Guys
I urgetly need your help.
I have no experience with start up scripts at ALL!!!
I need a script which will start my Domino server on SLES 10 Automaticly (After powerfailure etc.) Ive tried a few I found online, but none of them seems to work (Like I said, I have very little to know knowledge in this field)
If someone will be kind enough to provide me with a script? Or just help? PLEASE!!!
Thanks in advance.

After a powerfailure… I guess I don’t understand. Specifically you
want a script that starts your service on bootup? Power failure or
normal shutdown/startup shouldn’t matter. If you can get Domino to
start at all automatically on startup you should be set. If Domino runs
on Linux I guess I’m surprised that there isn’t a script made for it
already for startup and shutdown. If nothing else you can take
/etc/init.d/skeleton and copy it to a new file in /etc/init.d (‘domino’
perhaps) and customize it. In the start section, put the command(s) you
use to start Domino up. In the stop section, the things that shut
everything down. Then use chkconfig domino on to set it to start on
startup and stop on shutdown.
Good luck.

Thanx for the Reply - Still dont get the Startup Script Working. I think the reason being is that domino only starts up if logged into user “notes”
Where do I set the Variable so that the scrip log in as user “notes” or uses user “notes” and then try and start domino server?
This is how my domino Configuration works:
User required to start Domino Server = notes
This is what my script look like: Please add/edit commands or tips on how to get it working.
#!/bin/sh
Domino Server
Lotus Domino Server
. /etc/rc.status
case “$1” in
start)
echo -n "Starting Domino "
cd /local/notesdata && /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server
rc_status -v
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down Domino "
cd /local/notesdata && /opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -q
rc_failed 0 # have to force this since since
there’s no way of really knowing
rc_status -v
;;
restart)
was running or not, start it again.
$0 stop
$0 start
rc_status
;;
*)
echo “Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}”
exit 1
;;
esac
rc_exit
Hello,
Here is the script I wrote to manage Domino 7 in my SLES 10 system.
Don´t use as is, since it makes use of several supporting configuration files.
Adapt it first to your environment and needs.
Take special care when adjusting the paths to the binaries.
Almost all the settings were defined in a file named domino located in /etc/sysconfig directory.
Keep in mind that this file is not part of the official Sles 10 distro, so you will have to create
one yourself.
DOMINO_USER and DOMINO_GROUP are the user account and group you created to restrict domino accesss to its data directories.
INPUT_FILE plays the role of a bare command console for domino.
OUTPUT_LOG is the file where you want domino to write its output, good for troubleshooting issues.
Finally, I have also removed from the script all the insserv headers. Once you have the script adapted to your system, it would be advisable
to add them to the top.
Use the ones from skeleton and adapt them according to your system start up dependencies.
One last thing: I have removed a function I wrote to fine tune some kernel parameters. Their values are
system specific and could make yours unstable.
#! /bin/bash
#
# Source domino configuration
-f /etc/sysconfig/domino ] && . /etc/sysconfig/domino || exit 2
# Check that the Domino server binary is installed
-x ${LOTUSDIR}/bin/server ] || exit 4
# Set domino system log directories
OUTPUT_LOG=$DOMINO_LOG/$DOMINO_SERVER.log
INPUT_FILE=$DOMINO_LOG/$DOMINO_SERVER.input
# See how we were called
case "$1" in
start)
if -f ${DOMINO_LOCK_FILE} ] ; then
echo "Domino seems to be already running."
exit 5
fi
# Let´s tune some kernel parameters
# kernel_tunning ()
echo -n "Starting $prog: "
if ! -d "$DOMINO_LOG" ] ; then
mkdir -p "$DOMINO_LOG"
chown -R "$DOMINO_USER"."$DOMINO_GROUP" "$DOMINO_LOG"
fi
test -f $INPUT_FILE || su - $DOMINO_USER -c "touch $INPUT_FILE"
test -f $INPUT_FILE && su - $DOMINO_USER -c "rm $INPUT_FILE; touch $INPUT_FILE"
su - $DOMINO_USER -c "$DOMINO_BIN start <$INPUT_FILE >>$OUTPUT_LOG 2>&1 &"
#
RETVAL=$?
if "$RETVAL" -eq "0" ] ; then
echo "Domino started succesfully"
touch ${DOMINO_LOCK_FILE}
else
echo "Failed"
fi
;;
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down Domino: "
echo "... waiting ..."
su - $DOMINO_USER -c "$DOMINO_BIN -quit" >> $OUTPUT_LOG
#
count=0
DOMINO_RUNNING=`ps -fu $DOMINO_USER |grep $LOTUSDIR | awk '{print $2}'`
while "$DOMINO_RUNNING" ] ; do
echo "$DOMINO_RUNNING"
sleep 10
count=`expr $count + 1`
echo ".. waiting "$count"0 seconds"
if $count -eq 13 ] ; then
echo "Domino is still running after 2 minutes"
echo "... Now time to use brute force."
rm -f ${DOMINO_LOCK_FILE}
cd $DOMINO_PATH
su $DOMINO_USER -c "$LOTUSDIR/bin/nsd -kill"
cd -
fi
DOMINO_RUNNING=`ps -fu $DOMINO_USER | grep $LOTUSDIR | awk '{print $2}'`
done
rm -f ${DOMINO_LOCK_FILE}
echo "Domino server shutdown completed"
;;
restart)
## Stop and start the service
$0 stop
$0 start
;;
status)
echo -n "Checking for Lotus Domino: "
DOMPROCS=`ps -fu $DOMINO_USER | grep $LOTUSDIR | awk '{print $2}'`
if -z "$DOMPROCS" ] ; then
echo "Domino does not seem to be running"
else
echo "Domino is running. Current running domino processes have pids: "
echo "$DOMPROCS"
echo "Run the command <ps -fu ${DOMINO_USER}> for more details about domino running subsystems."
echo "See file ${OUTPUT_LOG} for domino text console output."
echo "Run simple domino console commands by means of ${INPUT_FILE}."
echo " --> Example: $> echo 'show server' >> ${INPUT_FILE}"
fi
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|status|restart}"
exit 1
;;
esac
Hope this helps.
Regards.
Thanks a mil for the help.
The biggest problem is, I have absolutely NO Knowledge of the Linux OS, neither Scripts, so it is almost impossible for me to edit any current script, as for I have no Idea what needs to be added where etc.
If anyone can maybe look at my script posted above, and see what needs to be added/removed to make it run?
It only needs to start Domino server on Bootup. Dont need anything fancy. My Domino is installed In Default Location with Default settings. Any more Help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Well, the main issue I see in your script is that you are starting Domino with root privileges, which is no correct.
As I stated in my previous post, you have to set up first a domino account and group.
Let´s picture they are domino/domino
Now, make the following changes to your script:
a) Starting the service
start)
echo -n "Starting Domino "
su - domino -c "/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server &"
;;
b) Stopping the service
stop)
echo -n "Shutting down Domino "
su - domino -c "/opt/ibm/lotus/bin/server -q"
;;
Keep in mind that the above reduce to the minimun the script. It doesn´t have any start/stop checking. If anything goes wrong you will have to add logging
to your script to troubleshooting what is going on.
Refer to my previous script for that.
Appart from that, double check that the domino data directory is owned by the domino account and group. In my system it looks like this:
# ls -ld notesdata/
drwxr-x--- 21 domino domino 8192 Nov 5 14:13 notesdata/
#
# ls -l /local/notesdata/
total 592800

If the paths to the binaries are right and you have the domino server configured and setup correctly, it should start.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
