Hi Everybody

I am totally new to Unix
Currently we have 4 to 5 shell scripts which needs to be executed manually by the users.I want these scripts to be run automatically when system starts...something like system startup service.

When system is shutdown, all these process should be shutdown normally without any problem.

At the sametime ,if i want to start or stop those processes through User interface(Java Swing based application), i need a way to do the same .

we hav developed application in Java which is running on Linux platform.

Apple,
The forum does not allow duplicate posting.
One of the Moderators will take action.

Hello Shell,

later only i came to know there is separate forums for Linux.
anyway if u know the solution kindly do write it.

Thanks

Apple,
I will let an unix administrator answer this question to you.

Shell script may reside in rc.local file, in /etc/init.d ; in .bash_profile of the respective user, depending on the OS and system config.
The java application is kinda unclear : "java -jar your-controller.jar stop" - something like that ?

you will need to place the startup scripts in rc2.d and the stop scripts in rc1.d , "man rc " will tell you exactly how and where the directories will need to be present. It is different for different operating systems. I have no worked on SusE a lot , but I can surely give you that hint.
