For reasons which I cannot understand, our unix admins feel the need to
reboot their machines constantly. I don't think there is an uptime
exceeding 2 weeks!! However when that happens, the BB client stops
reporting and I eventually get the purple alerts from Hobbit. Can
someone tell me how to get the clients to auto-restart? Also, I am not a
coder so please don't tell me to "write a script to make them start at
reboot" because that is obvious....i just don't know how. Thank you for
all input on this.
Normally a script like this would suffice:
#!/bin/sh
case "$1" in
"start")
su -c "/usr/local/bb/bbc/runbb.sh start" bb
;;
"stop")
su -c "/usr/local/bb/bbc/runbb.sh stop" bb
;;
esac
exit 0
Now the trick is to get that script run automatically when the system
starts up. How you do that depends on the Unix flavour - often the
script is installed in /etc/init.d/bigbrother, and then you need to
create links from /etc/rc2.d/S99bigbrother -> /etc/init.d/bigbrother
