Note 314.0                Start IP Poller at boot time                No replies

    I'm having some difficulty starting the IP poller automatically at boot
    time.  Previous notes in the MCC conference address this but for VMS
    machines and MCC - we're using TeMIP V2.0A and OSF 3.0.  
    
    The method that I've used is to build an IP poller startup script into
    /sbin/init.d that should be executed at boot time.  The proper entry (a
    link from /sbin/rc3.d) is in place as well.  It appears that the poller
    attempts to start, but then disappears.  
    
    The startup file being used is:
    
    #!/bin/csh
    #
    /usr/mcc/mcc_system/mcc_ip_poller_enable.csh << !
    <CR>
    300
    5
    5
    .nic.SNMP_alarms
    <CR>
    # end
    
    The mcc_ip_poller_enable.csh script has not been changed.
    
    Any help on this would be appreciated.  
    
    Thanks, Gary

    We were able to fix the script so that the IP poller starts at boot
    time.  There were two issues:
    
    1) the mcc_login.csh and temip_login.csh were not being properly 
       sourced and,
    
    2) we needed to execute the startup script from /sbin/init.d using 
       the /usr/bin/nohup command as in:
    
       /usr/bin/nohup /usr/mcc/mcc_system/ip_poller_enable.csh
    
    There was evidently some signal that was being received that was 
    causing the ip poller process to quit right after being started???
