Is there a script simply to start or restart all the services?

There is a blueprint for this but it hasn't been claimed by anyone yet. https://blueprints.launchpad.net/devstack/+spec/restart-services

According to the comment you find here https://github.com/cloudbuilders/devstack, script rejoin-stack.sh is what you're looking for.

Actually I tested it but it seems to have problems with nova-volume.

BTW I found out that when you reboot the machine (I'm running a single node deployment) all the OpenSteck services are NOT automatically restarted.

I tried to find out the reason whey nova-volume does not restart but I cannot find the log.

Does anyone know where it is?

Hello.

I'm back with the answer to ... my question :)

Daemons log messages go to stdout, by default and devstack uses "screens" for displaying them onto different logical screens (see http://www.mattcutts.com/blog/a-quick-tutorial-on-screen/).

I'm not very familiar with screens and, to be honest, I prefer to have all the messages logged onto a suitable file I can look at with the old "tail -f" technique.

Fortunately this is possible by indicating in localrc file that you want to have a behavior like that.
You just need to define SCREEN_LOGDIR and voila` (http://devstack.org/localrc.html).

The point is that we need to re-install openstack by calling stack.sh.

Hello again.

I looked into rejoin-stack.sh and it seems to me that it doesn't implement what the comment claims.
Actually it doesn't restart the daemons, it just rejoins the screen to the daemon.

At the end I wrote a couple of scripts myself.

I noticed that mysql and rabbitmq are started as services when the node boots: you don't need to boot 'em yourself.

These are the scripts (hope they help):

--- STOP ---

#!/usr/bin/env bash

kill -9 `ps aux | grep -v grep | grep glance | awk '{print $2}'`
kill -9 `ps aux | grep -v grep | grep keystone | awk '{print $2}'`
kill -9 `ps aux | grep -v grep | grep -v dnsmasq | grep nova- | awk '{print $2}'`

I am facing this same exact issue.

No resolution yet to this problem? Why do not we put in the above script in the code.

Some suggestions: why not use glance-control script to start all service in one command?
