Firstly I must say that I don't have an AIX 7 server. The CDE is controlled by the dtlogin daemon. The command to run is:-
It is usual to have a script in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d called S99dtlogin or similar to do this for you when the server boots. Note the capital S marks this be run with a parameter start during the boot.
This might be in rc3.d if your run-level is 3. Check this by looking at /etc/inittab
Separately, have a look at this for an IBM AIX root password resetYou should get a list of useful sites and even a you-tube video walking you through the process. For this reason you must keep your console (physical serial console, serial console server or HMC managed) very secure.

Is it also possible to start the... (4 Replies)
I did a fresh install of AIX 5.3 on my p275. I can now boot the system from the disk and login as root, but only from the directly attached graphics console (keyboard+LCD monitor).

reboot
reboot(3C)reboot(3C)NAME
reboot - reboot system or halt processor
SYNOPSIS
#include <sys/reboot.h>
int reboot(int howto, char *bootargs);
The reboot() function reboots the system. The howto argument specifies the behavior of the system while rebooting and is a mask con-
structed by a bitwise-inclusive-OR of flags from the following list:
RB_AUTOBOOT The machine is rebooted from the root filesystem on the default boot device. This is the default behavior. See boot(1M) and
kernel(1M).
RB_HALT The processor is simply halted; no reboot takes place. This option should be used with caution.
RB_ASKNAME Interpreted by the bootstrap program and kernel, causing the user to be asked for pathnames during the bootstrap.
RB_DUMP The system is forced to panic immediately without any further processing and a crash dump is written to the dump device
(see dumpadm(1M)) before rebooting.
Any other howto argument causes the kernel file to boot.
The interpretation of the bootargs argument is platform-dependent.
Upon successful completion, reboot() never returns. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
The reboot() function will fail if:
EPERM The {PRIV_SYS_CONFIG} privilege is not asserted in the effective set of the calling process.
