STARTING SLIM AT BOOT
Please refer to documentation of your Operating System to make slim automatically startup after the system boots.
CONFIGURATION
Global configuration is stored in the /etc/slim.conf file. See the comments inside the file for a detailed explanation of the options.

Hi All:
I wanted to know if i can write a program in UNIX, a program that does not run under a particular user login, but starts up at BOOT time.
Are there any online material that i could look into to do that.
Appreciate the help.

I am trying to change an IP address on a machine running HPUX10
After I change it I can ping it from the outside but it completely locks the console. After a reboot it returns back to its previous IP. Any ideas??
Thanks

I have to execute 2 commands everytime i reboot my Solaris machine.
Simple "share" and "chown" commands.
Is there anywhere (maybe a config file or something) where I can include these commands so that I do not have to manually run them everytime I reboot the machine?
Any help appreciated... (2 Replies)
I have a v490 server running Solaris 10.
Everytime I reboot this machine, the console-login service goes to maintainance mode and I have to provide the root password. All the other dependencies are running fine and nothing there in the logs too. To bring it online, I have to enable it manually.
