Workstation Administration
4.5.2 Recovery with
init
When
U
nix
software is booted, it starts the initialization program,
init
, which
controls the startup sequence.
The
init
program provided with an IRIS workstation has been modified so that
it attempts to recover from the most common file system errors. For most
errors,
init
recovers automatically but does not repair the cause of the problem.
Therefore, once the system comes up, you should repair the source of the
problem.
Repairing the problem usually entails editing the damaged files or reloading
the files from a backup tape.
When it starts running, the
init
program invokes a single-user shell by calling
the switch user program,
su
. Upon startup,
su
looks in the file
/etc/passwd
for an
account called
root
. The
su
program then starts a shell of the type specified in
the file
/etc/passwd
for the account
root
. (The default shell is the C shell,
/bin/csh
.)
During this process, the system does not boot correctly if it encounters any of
these conditions:
1. The
/etc/passwd
file is missing.
2. The entry for root is missing or in error in the
/etc/passwd
file.
3. Any other files critical to starting
U
nix
are missing or corrupted.
If any of these problems exists,
init
may be unable to execute the
su
program,
or
su
may execute too quickly. The first time an error occurs,
su
should take no
more than 15 seconds to execute; on subsequent errors,
su
should take no more
than 30 seconds to execute.
If
init
cannot execute
su
, it displays this message:
execlp of /bin/sh failed; errno =
n
Refer to the error numbers listed in the introduction to Section 2 in the
U
nix
Programmer’s Manual for the meaning of
n
.
If
su
executes too quickly, it displays a message explaining the problem. For
example:
SINGLE USER MODE
SU is broken
