Hi Customer has had problems recently with a corrupt DIT (I think you probably remember this one Andrew!?) and is now nervous about retaining the integrity of the DSA across reboots. He is trying to build a clean close of the DSA (using DELETE DSA TO SNAPSHOT) whenever they close the system down. The problem is I cannot find anywhere on my UNIX system where he would do this. It appears that shutdown runs the scripts in /sbin/rc0.d - there is one in here called osi_applications. In here there is a call for shutdown which calls /usr/sbin/osi_applshutdown or /sbin/osi_applshutdown On our system (and the customers) there is only the first of these. Looking at this script it appears to kill any application daemons. Where would the customer put any commands he needs to execute during shutdown? Thanks Jill

we basically amended the /sbin/init.d/osi_applications file and
introduced the following entries.
;;
STOP)
if [ -s /usr/sbin/osi_applshutdown ]
then
# Digital , August 1995
ncl < /var/mta/scripts/stop_mta.ncl
ncl < /var/dxd/scripts/stop_dsa.ncl
sleep 5
# Digital, August 1995
...
BTW. We are running an ASE configuration not that that should make any
difference.
As you will have gathered /usr/sbin/osi_applshutdown only seems to shutdown
the APPL_DAEMONS="ftam_listener ftamd vt_listener ologind". So that
I assume that the disabling and deleting of OSAK and the inherent deletion
of the OSAK mta/dsa ports leads to the termination of the mta and dsa
processes.
Hope this helps.
John

I suspect that the dsa is only terminated when the shutdown starts killing processes. This will result in an abrupt termination of the dsa. This should be perfectly safe, but there is a bug in V3 before ECO 4 which can cause corruption in some cases. Andrew | |||||
