[cisco-voip] CCM service not starting on server bootup, 30000 timeout

[Eric Jones]

Sometimes a service times out while starting if it is dependent on
another service for starting and the other one takes too long.  That
may also explain why when you attempt to start the service after the
boot process is complete; it succeeds.

A couple of things you could do would be 1) check the service (if any)
upon which the CCM service depends.  Find out what may be causing that
service to take longer to start than normal.  Keep in mind that you
may find a hierarchy of service dependencies so this process may take
a while. Another thing you could do if you can't find the start-up
problem may be to set the service to auto-restart using the service
manager. This doesn't actually fix the problem but at least the OS
would restart the service w/o manual intervention.  I've used this
process in a number of problem service scenarios where the mystery
persisted or there was insufficient help to resolve the issue.
