Description Darko Palic 2009-10-11 17:44:00 UTC 
The current rhq-agent-wrapper.sh script is not capable to be used directly as a startup script. The lookup of the scriptname with readlink "readlink isn't recursive.
The error can be reproduced by creating a link from /etc/init.d/rhq-agent -> mypathToTheScript
And if you now add the /etc/init.d/rhq-agent into the rcX.d folder with the typical symlink the startup will fail

rhq-agent-wrapper.sh should be changed from 
_DOLLARZERO=`readlink "$0" || echo "$0"`

to 
_DOLLARZERO=`readlink -f "$0" || echo "$0"`

The -f forces that all symlinks get recusivly resolved until a proper file is reached.
