Here is my rc.local for an autoscaling amazon ec2 instance based on ubuntu: (Note that user names, domains, and paths have been changed for security purposes)
logger "Begin rc.local startup script:"
logger "
svn checkout"
sudo -u nonRootUser /usr/bin/svn co svn+ssh://
[email protected]/path/to/repo /var/www/html | logger
logger "chown writeable folder"
chown www-data /var/www/html/writeableFolder
logger "restart apache"
/etc/init.d/apache2 restart | logger
exit 0
And here is the output of sudo tail -n 40 /var/log/syslog
Mar 10 22:05:20 ubuntu logger: Begin rc.local startup script:
Mar 10 22:05:20 ubuntu logger:
svn checkout
Mar 10 22:05:20 ubuntu logger: chown writeable folder
Of course its not getting to apache2 restart because it error'd on the chown. I did find however that if I do a checkout beforehand, and set the rc.local
svn command to an
svn update, that it still does not run the
svn command but does output apache2 restart successfully.
These same
svn commands work perfectly when I run them manually, tho it's strange that within rc.local they do not produce any output whatsoever to logger yet apache2 restart does.
I've also tried running the
svn co and
svn update both with sudo -u and without.
How do I get the
svn command to run? Either a full checkout or an update. At this point either would be better than nothing!
