i have this startup script under fedora running fine
#!/bin/sh -e
export P4JOURNAL=/var/log/perforce/journal
export P4LOG=/var/log/perforce/p4err
export P4ROOT=/var/local/perforce
export P4PORT=1666
PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
p4start="p4d -d"
p4stop="p4 admin stop"
p4user=perforce
case "$1" in
start)
#NOTE: in original, havent found RedHat equiv or source to include
# Havent found . /lib/lsb/init-functions
#log_action_begin_msg "Starting Perforce Server"
echo "starting perforce server from script..."
$p4start;
;;
stop)
# see above
#log_action_begin_msg "Stopping Perforce Server"
echo "stoping perforce server from script"
$p4stop;
;;
restart)
$p4stop;
$p4start;
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/perforce (start|stop|restart)"
exit 1
;;
esac
but it won't work at ubuntu, not sure what went wrong.(p4d and p4 are both in /usr/local/bin)
Any help will be appreciated.
i got this using sh -x
starting perforce server from script...
+ p4d -d
+ exit 0
the result seems right, but p4d not running.
