Making a Script to Start as a Service
Hi,
I have a shell script t1.sh. on my solaris box.
So, what are the steps required to make this script run as a Service, when the system re-starts. (for ex:- at run level 3).
I know that I should use the rc.d folders. But I don't know the exact steps.
Kindly explain,
Thanks in Advance.
Vishwa.

dmispd(1M) System Administration Commands dmispd(1M)
NAME
dmispd - Sun Solstice Enterprise DMI Service Provider
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/dmi/dmispd [-h] [-c config-dir] [-d debug-level]
DESCRIPTION
The DMI Service Provider, dmispd, is the core of the DMI solution. Management applications and Component instrumentations communicate with
each other through the Service Provider. The Service Provider coordinates and arbitrates requests from the management application to the
specified component instrumentations. The Service Provider handles runtime management of the Component Interface (CI) and the Management
Interface (MI), including component installation, registration at the MI and CI level, request serialization and synchronization, event
handling for CI, and general flow control and housekeeping.
The Service Provider is invoked from a start-up script at boot time only if contents of the DMI Service Provider configuration file
/etc/dmi/conf/dmispd.conf are non-trivial.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c config-dir Specify the full path of the directory containing the dmispd.conf configuration file. The default directory is
/etc/dmi/conf.
-d debug-level Debug. Levels from 0 to 5 are supported, giving various levels of debug information. The default is 0, meaning no debug
information is given.
If this option is omitted, then dmispd is run as a daemon process.
-h Help. Print the command line usage.
EXIT STATUS
The following error values are returned:
0 Successful completion.
1 An error occurred.
FILES
/etc/dmi/conf/dmispd.conf DMI Service Provider configuration file
