[AG-TECH] Problem with the beacon?

[Hubert Daugherty]

Hi,

I wrote this script for the Beacon Client when I installed it
on Solaris.  I wanted a script to automatically start the beacon client
if the machine was restarted.

It might be of help in insuring a reliable stop and start because the 
script
looks for the "Beacon" in the java command line.  This method insures
the java process is what gets killed.

#!/bin/sh

# Startup for Beacon daemon

case "$1" in
'start')
        if [ -x /usr/site/beaconclient/start_beacon.ag ]; then
                echo "Beacon Client"
                /usr/site/beaconclient/start_beacon.ag 1> /dev/console 
2>&1 &
        fi
        ;;
'stop')
        PID=`/usr/bin/ps -ef | grep Beacon  | awk '{print $2}'`
        if [ ! -z "$PID" ] ;  then
                /usr/bin/kill ${PID} 1> /dev/null 2>&1
        fi
        ;;
'restart')
        PID=`/usr/bin/ps -ef | grep Beacon | awk '{print $2}'`
        if [ ! -z "$PID" ]; then
                /usr/bin/kill ${PID} 1> /dev/null 2>&1
        fi
        sleep 1
        if [ -x /usr/site/beaconclient/start_beacon.ag ]; then
                echo "Beacon client"
