Lab 4.1
i'm running ubuntu 14.4 on virtual box and "fake_service" wont start.
it returns the error
"cant touch '/var/lock/subsys/fake_service' : no such file or directory"
...it seems my /var/lock directory only contains one sub directory "whoopsie" .
help!

lab and it all worked perfectly. and the lock file existed. I would suggest you
step back through things. In particular make sure:
1) you have sysvinit-utils and chkconfig packages installed.
2) make sure you created /etc/default/fake_service *AND* modified fake_service to
point to it instead of /etc/sysconfig
3) make sure you do all the starting/stopping as root (sudo)
Other than that I don't really know.
(removed the parts of it that were trying to access /var/lock which isn't present in my file system(...for whatever reason) ) and used the invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d commands instead of chkconfig.
NEW PROBLEM WITH LAB 4.2
systemctl command not found on my system!
Thanks.
I'm using ubuntu 14.04
In Ubuntu Server 14.04, I have create the /var/lock/subsys or /run/lock/subsys directory (/var/lock is a symbolic link to /run/lock) and the service worked fine.
There is no chkconig package on 14.04 and I had sysvinit-utils installed.
service started after
Not sure if subsys directory would not be gone after reboot.
I was able to stop/start the fake_service, but I was not able to add it with chkconfig. Did you have same issue? what am I doing wrong? Note: As you can see using CentOS7 and VirtualBox
[[email protected] ~]$ sudo chkconfig --add fake_service
service fake_service does not support chkconfig
[[email protected] ~]$ sudo systemctl enable fake_service
fake_service.service is not a native service, redirecting to /sbin/chkconfig.
Executing /sbin/chkconfig fake_service on
service fake_service does not support chkconfig
[[email protected] ~]$ /sbin/chkconfig fake_service on
service fake_service does not support chkconfig
[[email protected] ~]$
Hi Jesuso,
It worked here at once:
p.p1 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Menlo; color: #ededed; background-color: #000000}
p.p2 {margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 14.0px Menlo; color: #ededed; background-color: #000000; min-height: 16.0px}
span.s1 {font-variant-ligatures: no-common-ligatures}
[[email protected] default]# chkconfig --list fake_service
Note: This output shows SysV services only and does not include native
systemd services. SysV configuration data might be overridden by native
systemd configuration.
If you want to list systemd services use 'systemctl list-unit-files'.
To see services enabled on particular target use
'systemctl list-dependencies [target]'.
service fake_service supports chkconfig, but is not referenced in any runlevel (run 'chkconfig --add fake_service')
