This may be going overboard but I have a situation during boot up of a
QNX4.24 patch E system.
As simple as I can make it here is the supposed sequence of event for the
bootup.
sinit in .boot starts /etc/config/sysinit.1
sysinit.1 starts a script called /etc/config/check_install, this script
starts with a #!/bin/sh
check_install looks for a script /tmp/install.script, if found
starts it, this script also starts with #!/bin/sh
install.script looks for and starts the script
/tmp/errata.script, which starts with #!/bin/sh.
errata.script exits
install.script exits
check_install exits
sysinit.1 then calls ph to start Photon
Now some times sysinit.1 does not start Photon. The console contains the
lines executed by the
previous scripts and if I press the Enter key I get a ‘#’ prompt. I am
working on determining in
what scripts shell I am still in, but is there some reason why a scripts
shell would not terminate?
TIA.
