Sorry, did miss saying that but yes I did test and, except for not having RUNLEVEL defined, it does execute correctly to start and stop the database servers as it should. > > Correct me if I am wrong, but /tmp might not be the right place to put it. > I believe that /tmp gets cleaned out at boot time, which means only the > script start will show up. > > Place the output into /var/log, or drop it as /fapsrv.log.out I am new to Linux and had not been aware of that. It would also mean some redesign of otherthings as well.
