init-script freeze

System Config and Admin

Hello out there,
I have a problem with an init-script. I want to startup vmware, but to test the possibilties of init-scripts, I wrote a simple perl-script.

#! /usr/bin/perl


use warnings;

use strict;
my $filename = "/var/log/vmsimLOG.txt";

while(1) { open (FH, "> $filename") or die "cannot open file\n"; print FH "struntprat\n"; sleep(1); close(FH); }
and copied it to /usr/sbin. And changed the permission +x

Now I took the skeleton-init-script from "/etc/init.d" and try to adapt it tp my needs.
PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin DESC="VMware start script" NAME=vmsim.pl DAEMON=/usr/sbin/vmsim.pl #DAEMON_ARGS="" #PIDFILE=/var/run/$NAME.pid SCRIPTNAME=/etc/init.d/$NAME


log_daemon_msg () {

    if [ -z "${1:-}" ]; then

        return 1

    fi
    if [ -z "${2:-}" ]; then

        echo -n "$1:"

        return

    fi
    echo -n "$1: $2"

}
do_start()

{

	# Return

	#   0 if daemon has been started

	#   1 if daemon was already running

	#   2 if daemon could not be started

	echo "jag är här"

	start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON --test > /dev/null \

		|| return 1

	start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --exec $DAEMON -- \

		$DAEMON_ARGS \

		|| return 2

	# Add code here, if necessary, that waits for the process to be ready

	# to handle requests from services started subsequently which depend

	# on this one.  As a last resort, sleep for some time.

}
case "$1" in

  start)

	[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_daemon_msg "Starting $DESC" "$NAME"

	echo "jag är i Duff-Device"

	do_start

	#case "$?" in

	#	0|1) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg 0 ;;

	#	2) [ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg 1 ;;

	#esac

	;;

  stop)

	[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_daemon_msg "Stopping $DESC" "$NAME"

	do_stop

	#case "$?" in

....
by the way, do we have a nopaste-service here?
I copied it as vmware back to /etc/init.d and installed it with:
update-rc.d vmware defaults 20

So if I invoke this script with /etc/init.d/vmware, I got only the message:

Quote:

Starting VMware start script: vmsim.pl

and afterward nothing happens. If I boot with this script the boot-process freeze. I had to fix it with a live-cd-boot.

Does anybody see where the problem is?

Thank you

Gruss Christian
