Re: Script not terminating properly

Hi,

What i think is happening.....

one of the scripts you are calling is spawning a child process (obviously as
it is starting your process :)

The bash process that is processing your script is actually waiting for one
or more child processes to exit, so it seems to hang...

I would think its the following line

/root/scripts/dumpOXexpectScrpt.exp /var/backups/openexchangedb.out \
$DEFAULT_SQL_DB $DEFAULT_SQL_USER $DEFAULT_SQL_PASS

only because the init.d scripts usually spawn correctly :) you could try
putting a & at the end of the line above .... and seeing if it still hangs?
