run a service via startup script (correct me if I am wrong)
Environment
Solaris 9
I have configured the Solaris9 as NTP client in which Solaris9 is syncing the time with a windows2008 R2 Server which is runing fine. Now I want that the xntpd service should start at startup. I did this via a script. Kindly correct if I did any thing wrong:
1.)Made a file under the run level in which my solaris9 boots as defaults.(I verified my default run level is 5 via the command *who -r*)
#cd /etc/rc3.d/
#touch S99xntpd.sh
2.) Add the below command in the created file
# vi /etc/rc3.d/S99xntpd.sh
/etc/init.d/xntpd start
3.) Verify that the root user has the correct permission
#ls -la
-rwxr--r-- 1 root root 24 Jul 16 13:06 S99xntpd.sh

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

WARNINGS
script can pose a security risk when used in directories that are writable by other users (for example, /tmp), especially when run by a
privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
