[cobalt-developers] Qube3 orderly shutdown and reboot processes

[Malcolm McLeary <mmcleary@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys,

I have installed FileMaker Server for Linux on my Qube3 and it is doing the
serving thing fine, but shutdown is a problem.

The instructions say to use;

# chkconfig fmserverd on

to enable correct startup and shutdown of FileMaker Server, but as far as I
can determine "chkconfig" is part of Red Hat Linux 6.2 and hence not on the
Qube3.

As it stands, fmserverd starts when the Qube3 is booted so all I really need
to do is tell it to stop when a shutdown or reboot is requested.  This can
be done at the command line by;

# fmserverd stop

How to I include this in the normal Qube3 shutdown or reboot process?

At the moment a shutdown terminates fmserverd without alerting clients and
without closing the database tables ... not good.

Cheers,  Malcolm
