schedule a job after a nightly reboot
Hello everyone,
I want to schedule a job to run immediatly after a successful nightly reboot (at level 2). I have been looking at inittab file and vxvm-startup in /sbin/init.d and other files in init.d but I am still puzzled as where to actually start. I looked at the crontab to see how this nightly reboot is schedule but i did not see it there. Should I look for the log file from the reboot and check for a successful rc then invoke my job? if so, i am not sure where this log file is as I do not see where/what kicks of the reboot.
btw, i am working with HPux 11.23.
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rachael

runit-init
runit-init(8) System Manager's Manual runit-init(8)
NAME
init - a UNIX process no 1
SYNOPSIS
init [ 0 | 6 ]
DESCRIPTION
runit-init is the first process the kernel starts. If runit-init is started as process no 1, it runs and replaces itself with runit(8).
If runit-init is started while the system is up, it must be either called as init 0 or init 6:
init 0 tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and halt the system. To signal runit(8) the system halt request, runit-init removes all
permissions of the file /etc/runit/reboot (chmod 0), and sets the execute by owner permission of the file /etc/runit/stopit (chmod
100). Then a CONT signal is sent to runit(8).
init 6 tells the Unix process no 1 to shutdown and reboot the system. To signal runit(8) the system reboot request, runit-init sets the
execute by owner permission of the files /etc/runit/reboot and /etc/runit/stopit (chmod 100). Then a CONT signal is sent to
runit(8).
EXIT CODES
runit-init returns 111 on error, 0 in all other cases.
