(1) There was a typo in my script -
#/bin/sh should have been #!/bin/sh
(2) "nohup" needed to be added to the command.
(3) The script now looks like this:
#!/bin/sh
nohup su -f curt -c /homes/cola/curt/fort/a.out &
Several people replied saying that the init process sends
a HUP signal to programs that it launches. This was the
key. Thanks to all who replied, especially, Eris Sisson,
Dr. Thomas P. Blinn, Richard Loken, Piotyr Grzybowski,
and Oisin McGuinness.

ORIGINAL POST:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I need to start up a job at system startup
under a userid other than root. I'm running
tru64 v5.1b (pk4?) on an ES45. I created
a little script called /sbin/rc3.d/S96try:
#/bin/sh
su -f curt -c /homes/cola/curt/fort/a.out &
If I run this script in multi-user mode, or
from crontab it works just fine: it runs
the little fortran program a.out under the userid
"curt" - which is what I want. But when I
start the system up the script doesn't "launch".
Any suggestions?
Sincerely,
Curt Steinmetz
