Created-new service which is running twice

For Developers
1

Hi,

I created a c file which I crosscompiled and ran in the device absolutely fine but when I create a service out o that, Its running twice .. Can anyone tell me what might be the reason.

Following is the init script I am using

#!/bin/sh /etc/rc.common
USE_PROCD=1
START=99

APP=/usr/bin/my-app

start_service() {
    procd_open_instance
    procd_set_param command "$APP"
    procd_close_instance
}
2 
ls -l /etc/rc.d | grep -e svc_name
3

yeah its creating 2 instances

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            17 Jun 15 19:17 K01my-app -> ../init.d/my-app
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            17 Jun 15 19:17 S95my-app -> ../init.d/my-app
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            17 Jun 15 19:17 S99my-app -> ../init.d/my-app

but what would be the cause ? I just created a 99 so I understand the S99 but why the S95? can you please tell me .. and I didnt add a stop so why did it add a K01 ?

And I also created a bash script which I can see has also replicated to S99 which I only put as 95 but in the processes I just see one instance of the script.. I am confused.. Please help

/etc/init.d/my-app disable
/etc/init.d/my-app enable
ls /etc/rc.d/*my-app

wow its giving me a permission denied

/etc/init.d/my-app disable
/etc/rc.common: /etc/init.d/my-app: line 13: /root: Permission denied
/etc/rc.common: /etc/init.d/my-app: line 14: /root: Permission denied
6 
chmod +x /etc/init.d/my-app

Its set to chmod 777 but still gives a permission denied I dont understand this

/etc/init.d/my-app disable
/etc/rc.common: /etc/init.d/my-app: line 13: /root: Permission denied
/etc/rc.common: /etc/init.d/my-app: line 14: /root: Permission denied

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           179 Jun 15 18:56 /etc/init.d/my-app

sed -n -e 13,14p /etc/init.d/my-app

I removed some spaces from the file so now it was showing this

etc/init.d/my-app disable
/etc/rc.common: /etc/init.d/my-app: line 11: /root: Permission denied

so I did

sed -n -e 11p /etc/init.d/my-app

Output:

~

okay so removing that last ~ let it disable it .. Can you please tell me why..

Okay now just one instance is running , but how can I do that when building it .... Is there a way to not stop it and just create one service ?

Okay I restarted the device and its back to the same state. and now when I disabled and enabled it back there is no change.. the 2 processes still exist.

And its also giving a bunch of which are not required

 5391 root         0 Z    [my-app]
 5780 root         0 Z    [my-app]
 6184 root         0 Z    [my-app]
 6578 root         0 Z    [my-app]
 8989 root         0 Z    [my-app]
 9390 root         0 Z    [my-app]
 9783 root         0 Z    [my-app]
