Starting daemons at reboot.

I rebooted my server (solaris 5.8) and I had to manually start the cron and mailx daemons. How do I get these to automatically start at reboot?

Thanks in advance.

In the directory "/etc/init.d" the following 2 files should be presend:

- cron
- sendmail

which look something like this:

Code:
# cat cron
#!/sbin/sh
#
# Copyright (c) 1997-1998 by Sun Microsystems, Inc.
# All rights reserved.
#
#ident  "@(#)cron       1.13    98/04/19 SMI"

case "$1" in
'start')
        if [ -p /etc/cron.d/FIFO ]; then
                if /usr/bin/pgrep -x -u 0 -P 1 cron >/dev/null 2>&1; then
                        echo "$0: cron is already running"
                        exit 0
                fi
        fi

        if [ -x /usr/sbin/cron ]; then
                /usr/bin/rm -f /etc/cron.d/FIFO
                /usr/sbin/cron &
        fi
        ;;

'stop')
        /usr/bin/pkill -x -u 0 -P 1 cron
        ;;

*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
exit 0
Code:
# cat sendmail
#!/sbin/sh
#

case "$1" in

        if [ -f /usr/lib/sendmail -a -f /etc/mail/sendmail.cf ]; then
                if [ ! -d /var/spool/mqueue ]; then

if not present use the following commands:

Code:
# cd /etc/rc2.d
# ln /etc/init.d/cron S75cron
# ln /etc/init.d/sendmail S88sendmail
The following files should be present in the directories "/etc/rc0.d", "/etc/rc1.d" and "/etc/rcS.d"

- K40cron
- K36sendmail

If not present use the following command:

Code:
# cd /etc/rc0.d
# ln /etc/init.d/cron K40cron
# ln /etc/init.d/sendmail K36sendmail
# cd /etc/rc1.d
# ln /etc/init.d/cron K40cron
# ln /etc/init.d/sendmail K36sendmail
# cd /etc/rcS.d
