Full Discussion: HP UX start process at boot time
Operating Systems HP-UX HP UX start process at boot time Post 302299848 by TonyFullerMalv on Saturday 21st of March 2009 05:43:59 PM

The question is not clear but if want to start something at boot time you write a script in /sbin/init.d (copy one of the other scripts as a template and then then install a symbolic link into the appropriate /sbin/rc?.d directory, e.g.:
New scripts is: /sbin/init.d/newscript.
# cd /sbin/rc3.d
# ln -s /sbin/init.d/newscript S99newscript

The S before the 99 means this is a start script (K would be a stop or kill script).
The number determines when the script is run in relation to the other scripts in /sbin/rc3.d.

If /sbin/init.d/newscript is using a variable to determine whether it runs,say NEWSCRIPT, e.g.:
Code:
# newscript startup
#
. /etc/rc/config

if [ $NEWSCRIPT = 1 ]
   then do_stuff
fi

Then that variable is set in a file in /etc/rc.config.d, e.g.
/etc/rc.config.d/newscript
Containing the line:
NEWSCRIPT=1


N.B. runlevel=0 is now eher one would normally start anything..

mdbfontsize

mdbFontSize(5)							 The m17n Library						    mdbFontSize(5)

NAME

       mdbFontSize - Font Size

DESCRIPTION

       In some case, a font contains incorrect information about its size (typically in the case of a hacked TrueType font), which results in a
       bad text layout when such a font is used in combination with the other fonts. To overcome this problem, the m17n library loads information
       about font-size adjustment from the m17n database by the tags <font, resize>. The data is loaded as a plist of this format.

       FONT-SIZE-ADJUSTMENT ::= PER-FONT *

       PER-FONT ::= '(' FONT-SPEC ADJUST-RATIO ')'

       FONT-SPEC ::=
	   '(' [ FOUNDRY FAMILY
	      [ WEIGHT [ STYLE [ STRETCH [ ADSTYLE ]]]]]
	    REGISTRY ')'

       ADJUST-RATIO ::= INTEGER

       FONT-SPEC is to specify properties of a font. FOUNDRY to REGISTRY are symbols corresponding to Mfoundry to Mregistry property of a font.
       See m17nFont for the meaning of each property.

       ADJUST-RATIO is an integer number specifying by percentage how much the font-size must be adjusted. For instance, this PER-FONT:

	   ((devanagari-cdac) 150)

       instructs the font handler of the m17n library to open a font of 1.5 times bigger than a requested size on opening a font whose registry is
       'devanagari-cdac'.
