Hi all,

I would like some deeper understanding on this area.I am working on a
pserices aix 5L server.I installed oracle,Websphere and other
products,all went fine.

But once I restart the server I have to start each deamon(service)
manually.
I learned we can add a script in the rc.d to automatically start the
processes.

I have a script called startServer.sh which I run to start WebSphere.
I go the the Websphere_home/bin and run the command.
How can I make this auotomated.PLease advice what I plan to do is
correct

cd /Web_home/bin
../startServer server1

I will add this to a script.Where should I place it and as what name
should I place it in rc2.d if I chose the start level to be 2.

Please advice on this.

THanks and Regards
micky

rc.d is one method. Adding a line to /etc/inittab to auto run another file
(most call it rc.local) is another method. If it is a single line, running
it from inittab directly.

The thing to keep in mind is that the inittab (and crontab) are environmentless
executions. A start script that works commandline may not work via these
methods. Test first, add critical environment variables, or source the
necessary environment files. Adding the set command in your script will allow
you to find the env vars of this script each time it is run. So you can see
what the vars were if run via cron, init, rc, shell, etc.

This can be very enlightening.
