Scalix Forums

How can I configure Scalix (With it's support programs; scalix-postres and scalix-tomcat) to be started manualy?

I need to do this because I cannot figure out how to insure that the network service starts before the scalix-postgres service on my SUSE sles 9 system.

An alternative would be for the scalix-postgres startup script to check to see if the network is up and, if not, start it before starting itself. I do not have the scripting expertise to accomplish this myself.

It is very frustrating having to rename files within the inet.d rc3.d and rc5.d subdirectories to insure the proper startup sequesnce just to have them revert back to the old names the next time I reboot.

In yast, go to System. Then Runlevel editor, near the bottom of the list.

Switch to Expert Mode.

Scalix
Scalix-tomcat
Scalix-postgres
and
ldapmapper

will all be set to start in run levels 3 and 5. If you do not want them to autostart, just set it so that it will NOT start in those runlevels.

This will mean you need to manually start all of those services. Personally, I'd rather leave it as is, and then just issue a /etc/init.d/scalix-postgres restart, because then if you're not around when there's a server reboot, the server will at least still be in a usable state. But that's up to you.

Thank you.

You don't know how long I have been looking for a solution to this on my own. For some reason I thought that the processes had to be started in order.
