Linux – Daemon doesn’t start at boot – how can I debug this

bootlinuxUbuntu

I installed new relic according to their quick install instructions.

If I start the daemon manually after boot with /etc/init.d/newrelic-daemon restart it works, but it doesn't run automatically after boot. How can I find out why?

The servers are Scalr/AWS PHP/5.3.2-1ubuntu4.15

Try searching through dmesg, /var/log/messages and /var/log/syslog whyc is it happening so but there is a workaround:
1) Try running chkconfig newrelic-daemon on
2) If (1) doesn't help, try forcing the start by adding /etc/init.d/newrelic-daemon restart to /etc/rc.local, this should be placed there before any exit statement in /etc/rc.local

Linux Bash – How to Sort du -h Output by Size

As of GNU coreutils 7.5 released in August 2009, sort allows a -h parameter, which allows numeric suffixes of the kind produced by du -h:

du -hs * | sort -h

If you are using a sort that does not support -h, you can install GNU Coreutils. E.g. on an older Mac OS X:

brew install coreutils
du -hs * | gsort -h

From sort manual:

-h, --human-numeric-sort compare human readable numbers (e.g., 2K 1G)

Linux – How to Start Linux Daemon program at boot up

Don't forget to call the daemon library function in your program.

Then, create a /etc/init.d/yourdaemon script taking /etc/init.d/skeleton as a model (init script vary from distribution to distribution).

You could also create a crontab entry for your daemon, using @reboot as the time specification.
