Add it to the run level scripts under /etc/rc.d/. A run level script allow you to start and stop an application while changing the run level (which occurs when booting.) Put your run level script in the subdirectory of /etc/rc.d that is specific to the run level at which you wish your application to start. Scripts beginning with K are stop scripts, while scripts beginning with S are start scripts. Look at existing start scripts to see how to write your own start script correctly.

Thanks for your reply fpmurphy......

You mean that if you created the file like Start.ksh and store it in the /etc/rc.d it will call automatically when server starts up not inserver stop.

And if you create the file like KStop.ksh and store it in same path, it will call automatically when the server stop not in server start up...

Is my understanding is correct??????
