Ubuntu & zmcontrol start/stop

[mtk]

Hi,

I am using Zimbra 8.7.1 on Ubuntu 14.04 (live) and 16.04 (testing).
To run backups through Veeam Endpoint for Linux I would like to stop Zimbra before the backup and start them once backup succeeded.
Therefor I generated two scripts:

Stop

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol stop

Start

Code: Select all

#!/bin/bash
sudo -u zimbra /opt/zimbra/bin/zmcontrol start

While stopping will run nicely, starting won't:

Code: Select all

Host zimbratest.local
        Starting ldap...Done.
        Starting zmconfigd...Done.
        Starting logger...Failed.
Starting logswatch...failed.


        Starting mailbox...Done.
        Starting memcached...Done.
        Starting proxy...Done.
        Starting amavis...Done.
        Starting antispam...Done.
        Starting antivirus...Done.
        Starting opendkim...Failed.
opendkim: /opt/zimbra/conf/opendkim.conf: ldap://zimbratest.local:389/?DKIMSelector?sub?(DKIMIdentity=$d): dkimf_db_open(): Connect error
Failed to start opendkim: 0


        Starting snmp...Done.
        Starting spell...Done.
        Starting mta...Done.
        Starting stats...Done.
        Starting service webapp...Done.
        Starting zimbra webapp...Done.
        Starting zimbraAdmin webapp...Done.
        Starting zimlet webapp...Done.

They won't work running the scripts from commandline:

Code: Select all

sudo ./zmcontrol_start.sh

This seems to be a particular problem with permissions or how Ubuntu is working.
Doing

Code: Select all

sudo /bin/bash
su zimbra
zmcontrol start

will work nicely.

Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong or where in the logs could be more output to retrieve the actual error?

Thanks in advance!

keep it simple :

Code: Select all

service zimbra stop

or

Code: Select all

service zimbra start

And for the log : /var/log/zimbra.log or /opt/zimbra/log/...
