I see no disadvantage, just wanted to show possible alternatives. If your script does not come back after starting /usr/local/sbin/SiteMonitor.sh &
, you might try to add a nohup in front of it. To know if it is running or not, you will maybe want to have a separate mechanism to check, depending if you want to check it continously or only after that initial launch.
For only initial checking after the start, you could grep for a process and check it's $?, or rely on a lock/pid file (or both) you might have placed.

Hi,
I'm new to AIX, and have to make some services start at system startup. The IBM-Redbook says I have to edit /etc/inittab. As a long time (Debian)-Linux Admin I'm a bit confused. Is there something like /etc/init.d/$SERVICE in AIX?

startup(7) Miscellaneous Information Manual startup(7)
NAME
startup - event signalling system startup
SYNOPSIS
startup [ENV]...
DESCRIPTION
The startup event is generated by the Upstart init(8) daemon after it has completed its own initialisation and is the signal that the rest
of the system may be started.
Typically this will involve checking and mounting the partitions and drives that form the filesystem, loading drivers for connected devices
and starting the X windowing system or other login environment.
In the default Upstart configuration, the primary task run on the startup event is the /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf job responsible for gener-
ating the System V compatible runlevel(7) event. See that page for a more detailed explanation of this process.
Paradoxically there is currently no corresponding Upstart-native event signifying that the system is to be shutdown, only the System V com-
patible runlevel 0 and runlevel 6 events provide this functionality.
EXAMPLE
A service with no other dependencies run on startup might use:
start on startup
