Subject: Starting and stopping servers

Ar question which may be of interest to all. How do I stop and start afpd
servers. (SunOS 4.1.3, netatalk 1.3b3)
Currently I'm running rc.atalk at boot time. In rc.atalk there is a list
of about 9 servers putting themselves in 5 different zones. This works
troublesome. Seemingly random picked from the list of the startup commands
some do not result in a running afpd. So I go back and start them by hand.
Then it mostly works. There is no 'Can't register ...' message in those cases.
Also when I want to stop servers I do a kill -TERM of the pid followed by
a nbpunrgstr. Now sometimes I have to repeat the nbpunrgstr command several
times before it returns with 'Can't unregister ...'.
Are there any timeouts involved? I tried sleeping for 10 secs between several
afpd startups. Do I need to HUP/USR[12] atalkd? Is there any recipe for
a reliable start/stop script.
Sincerely
Jos van Wezel
