[ILUG] Bootup script for msql

[John Mc Donald]

I've been trying to write a startup script for mSQL but can't seem to
get it to work.
To do this I have just ripped off the htttpd startup script.

The problem is that when I try
    msql start
it pops up with
    Starting mSQL(msql2d):
and hangs there. I have looked at the code for "daemon" in functions but
can't see the
problem.

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks,
John.



------Start of msql script ------------

#!/bin/sh
#
# Startup script for the miniSQL Server
#
# description: mSQL is a RDBMS server
#
# processname: msql2d
# pidfile: /usr/local/Hughes/msql2d.pid
# config: /usr/local/Hughes/msql.conf
# config: /usr/local/Hughes/msql.acl


# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
  start)
        echo -n "Starting mSQL(msql2d): "
        daemon msql2d
        echo
        touch /var/lock/subsys/msql2d
        ;;
  stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down mSQL(msql2d): "
        killproc msql2d
        echo
        rm -f /var/lock/subsys/msql2d
        rm -f /usr/local/Hughes/msql2d.pid
        ;;
  status)
        status msql2d
        ;;
  restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start
        ;;
  *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|reload|status}"
        exit 1
esac

exit 0
