Hi, I have just installed and configured a Sun Grid Engine 5.3 cluster with one qmaster node and 3 dual G5 nodes. The installation appears to work correctly. I now want it to start up at boot time without user intervention. As OS-X uses its own startup system, I have cobbled together a script and a plist to perform the startup. These are listed below:- SGE === #!/bin/sh ## # Sun Grid Engine startup ## . /etc/rc.common . /SGE/sge/sge/default/common/settings.sh StartService () { ConsoleMessage "Starting Sun Grid Engine" /SGE/sge/sge/default/common/rcsge start ConsoleMessage "Sun Grid Engine started" } StopService () { /SGE/sge/sge/default/common/rcsge stop } RestartService () { StopService; StartService; } RunService "$1" ------------------------------------------ StartupParameters.plist ================== { Description = "Sun Grid Engine"; Provides = ("SGE"); Requires = ("Network", "NFS"); OrderPreference = "Last"; } ----------------------------------------- Both the files listed above are in a directory /Library/StartupItems/SGE. When the above scripts are invoked from the console with:- /sbin/SystemStarter start SGE they execute and start up SGE fine. However, when invoked at boot time by the system, they fail with:- (/tmp/execd_messages) Mon Jun 14 13:41:53 2004|execd|dyquem|C|can't redirect file descriptor #0 What am I doing wrong and how do I fix this?
