I'm having a problem with Courier 0.28 running on Solaris 7. I can
start and stop courier fine once the machine is booted, but on an
initial power up (ie before the console is active), I start courier
using a simple script in rc2.d where it calls all of the scripts
supplied for SMTP and IMAP. The problem is that courier grabs the
console so that I can't log in until I restart courier manually. Is
this a configuration issue or is something else happening here that I'm
not aware of?
This is a Solaris "feature". Only Solaris grabs the console in such a
fashion.
A feature that allows you CTRL-C a problematic startup script hence breaking
out of it, otherwise you would expreience the system locking up during
boot-up as I have observed with Linux.
Perhaps backgrounding the process or script you call from your starup script
may detach it from the controling tty otherwise redirect input/output
from/to /dev/null may help.
