Operating Systems HP-UX help auto starting app on boot Post 302326074 by vbe on Wednesday 17th of June 2009 04:22:19 AM

AIX has /etc/rc.d/init.d directory where you should put all your start/stop script, then add links to them in the correct runlevel e.g. rc2.d for 2 etc...but AIX uses alot /etc/inittab also which is not the case of HP-UX (and SOLARIS <10)
All scripts are in /sbin/init.d then your should link them to the corresponding level your case should be 3 ( I use 4 and corrrected init default value in order to, when trouble bring down one level:3 which is how the system was delivered: works? then something we added is faulty...) but you can like me customise and use level 4...

There is a template file you can use (in /sbin/init.d/ ; cp template rc.myDB) , do a man rc

Arguments passed by init will be at startup (boot) : "start", at shutdown, "stop"

This documentation explains all:

AUTOFS(8)						      System Manager's Manual							 AUTOFS(8)

NAME
/etc/init.d/autofs - Control Script for automounter SYNOPSIS
/etc/init.d/autofs start|stop|restart|reload|status DESCRIPTION
autofs control the operation of the automount(8) daemons running on the Linux system. Usually autofs is invoked at system boot time with the start parameter and at shutdown time with the stop parameter. The autofs script can also manually be invoked by the system administra- tor to shut down, restart or reload the automounters. OPERATION
autofs will consult a configuration file /etc/auto.master (see auto.master(5)) by default to find mount points on the system. For each of those mount points automount(8) will mount and start a thread, with the appropriate parameters, to manage the mount point. /etc/init.d/autofs reload will check the current auto.master map against running daemons. It will kill those daemons whose entries have changed and then start daemons for new or changed entries. If a map is modified then the change will become effective immediately. If the auto.master map is modified then the autofs script must be rerun to activate the changes. /etc/init.d/autofs status will display the status of, automount(8), running or not. SEE ALSO
