[Solved]Debian - sabnzbdplus only runs when manually started

So I am running the below on a stable system

Code: Select all

# apt-cache policy sabnzbdplus
sabnzbdplus:
  Installed: 0.6.15-1
  Candidate: 0.6.15-1
  Version table:
 *** 0.6.15-1 0
        500 http://debian.mirror.ac.za/debian/ stable/contrib amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
When the system boots, it shows the service starts with an ok. yet when i run ps aux | grep sabnzb, it shows it is not running.

the service is listed as follows

Code: Select all

# ls -la /etc/{rc?.d,init.d,default}/*sabnzbdplus
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  760 May 20 23:57 /etc/default/sabnzbdplus
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3498 Dec  8  2011 /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc0.d/K01sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc1.d/K01sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc2.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc3.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc4.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc5.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc6.d/K01sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
and then as root, when i run /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start the daemon starts.

i also have a crontab that checks if sabnzbplus is running

Code: Select all

*/5 * * * * /usr/local/bin/check-sabnzb >> /root/check-sabnzb.log
some output from the log file shows

Code: Select all

Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber: failed!
Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber: failed!
Starting SABnzbd+ binary newsgrabber: failed!
yet when i run the same crontab entry manually the daemon starts.

you may also have noticed above that the start-level is 11. which happens to be before network manager. but no matter what i try, i am unable to change the start level

Code: Select all

# update-rc.d sabnzbdplus start 20 2 3 4 5 stop 01 0 1 6
update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing
# ls -la /etc/{rc?.d,init.d,default}/*sabnzbdplus
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  760 May 20 23:57 /etc/default/sabnzbdplus
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 3498 Dec  8  2011 /etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc0.d/K01sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc1.d/K01sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc2.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc3.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc4.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc5.d/S11sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   21 May 20 23:52 /etc/rc6.d/K01sabnzbdplus -> ../init.d/sabnzbdplus
what am i missing here?

Re: Debian - sabnzbdplus only runs when manually started

Such are the niceties of dependency based booting. Backup the init script, then try replacing it with the one found here (or edit the existing one in place - the relevant changes are in the INIT INFO part). After that:

Code: Select all

sudo update-rc.d sabnzbdplus remove
sudo update-rc.d sabnzbdplus defaults
This should move the service to somewhat later in the startup sequence. If it doesn't, try changing to "Required-Start: $all" and then repeat above commands.

The failure to start from cron is most likely related to differences in the environment provided by init, your shell, and crontab. Nothing I can fix or prevent.

thanks. that init script has done the trick.

as for the script called by cron, it just runs a check to see if sabnzbdplus is running

Code: Select all

# cat /usr/local/bin/check-sabnzb 
#!/bin/bash
if ! pgrep sabnzbdplus; then
/etc/init.d/sabnzbdplus start
fi
will see what happens with the new init script

I don't expect it to behave any different with cron. Maybe using 'invoke-rc.d' in your check-sabnzb script instead of calling the init script directly helps.
