Dear All,
We have developed a sever ( basically a daemon) using Xcode 2.2 for Mac OS 10.4.x ppc/Intel and 10.3.9 which functionally performs well.
But I have some issues of server starting specifically when the machine starts/reboots and require your expert comments to resolve this tricky situation.
I have developed a script file that is used to start and stop the server. To start the sever automatically, we have included this script file in rc script (i.e. /etc/rc ). The server gets started automatically at start of the machine.
But as per my requirements, the server needs to be connect to network and save some n/w relevant information in its database (e.g its own IP address) But unfortuntately, this does not happens, probably because the rc scripts makes run myserver "even before the network is initialized".
A scenerio which makes me sure for this is:
"Although my server gets started, but its database contains -
127.0.0.1 IP address instead of its original IP.
On the other hand if my restart my server when the machine is fully up, I get the correct n/w information. i.e. i get the correct IP
172.125.14.64 "
I've put the following scriptfile inside a uniquely named folder in the /Library/StartupItems folder (which I also created) along with a simple StartupParameters.plist file.
However, it never seems to get loaded. That is, when I go into the Process Viewer, my server is never there. Neither do any of its (sparse) debug messages appear in the console. Below is the script file that I place in my folder.
. /etc/rc.common
StartService ()
{
cd /Applications/MyCompany\ MyProduct/Common\ Files/MyProduct\ Keys\ Server
sudo ./myServer
ConsoleMessage "Starting myServer"
}
StopService ()
{
sudo kill -9 $(ps -ax|grep ./myServer|head -n 1|cut -c 3-5)
ConsoleMessage "Stopping myServer"
}
RestartService ()
{
ConsoleMessage "Restarting myServer"
sudo kill -9 $(ps -ax|grep ./myServer|head -n 1|cut -c 3-5)
cd /Applications/MyCompany\ MyProduct/Common\ Files/MyProduct\ Keys\ Server
sudo ./myServer
}
RunService "$1"
Did anybody faced similar situation ??? Can you please tell me where can be the possible issue ?? Why is the server not able to load at the startup ? All comments / suggestions are most welcome!
