Not able to create a link in /etc/rc3.d in Solaris 10

UNIX Solaris
1

HI I am using solaris 10.We are doing some failover testing and checking whether services are starting up when we reboot the server.

As part of process i have moved scripts to /etc/init.d directory and trying to create a link /etc/rc3.d like this.

But strangely it is giving an error eventhough there is no file or directoy exists with the samename.

echo /etc/init.d/ingres* S82ingres

?

Thanks for the response.

echo /etc/init.d/ingres* S82ingres
/etc/init.d/ingres_shutdown_script /etc/init.d/ingres_startup_script S82ingres

(Please use CODE tags not ICODE tags!)
ln did odd things because ingres* matched twice.
Do the following

diff /etc/init.d/ingres_shutdown_script /etc/init.d/ingres_startup_script

If there is really a difference, then link to the startup script:

ln -s /etc/init.d/ingres_startup /etc/rc3.d/S82ingres

-s is a soft link (like the others).

Hi bot the scripts are different.

 
root@dcwipvmvom002:/etc # diff /etc/init.d/ingres_shutdown_script /etc/init.d/ingres_startup_script
5,6c5,6
< #Stop Ingres Client
< su - ingres -c "ingstop -force"
---
> #Start Ingres Client
> su - ingres -c "ingstart"
9c9
< echo 'Ingres did not stop correctly';
---
> echo 'Ingres did not start correctly';

< echo 'Ingres stopped correctly'
---
> echo 'Ingres started correctly'

I need to use only bwlo command.
echo /etc/init.d/ingres* S82ingres.One strange thing it worked on some other server(solaris 10).but not working in the current server(which is also solaris 10)

You can't have one link point to two (or more) files.
Here, you need a start "link" and a "stop" link, usually distinguished by the initial letter:

ln -s /etc/init.d/ingres_startup_script /etc/rc3.d/S82ingres
ln -s /etc/init.d/ingres_shutdown_script /etc/rc3.d/K82ingres
