Start a service on HPUX at boot

Question

I'm trying to start a service on HPUX 11.31 at boot time. I generated the appropriate symlinks, but the system is not starting it up. If I run the script once the system is up, everything works as expected (but I need the service to come up at boot time by itself).

 $ ls -l /sbin/init.d/weblogic
 -rwxr-xr-x   1 oracle     oracle 3066 Sep 23 13:59 /sbin/init.d/weblogic

 $ ls -l /sbin/rc?.d/*weblogic
 lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  sys  21 Sep 23 13:38 /sbin/rc2.d/S998weblogic -> /sbin/init.d/weblogic
 lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  sys  21 Sep 23 13:38 /sbin/rc3.d/S998weblogic -> /sbin/init.d/weblogic
 lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  sys  21 Sep 23 13:38 /sbin/rc4.d/S998weblogic -> /sbin/init.d/weblogic

Answer 1

Weblogic server is picky about hwo it starts. Does the script /sbin/init.d/weblogic start WLS as user ID root, or does it do an "su" to some WLS-specific user ID? It seems to me that WLS refuses to run under the root user ID.

Another thing to try, change ownership of /sbin/init.d/weblogic to match other scripts in /sbin/init.d/.
