UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

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

See if your crontab supports the @reboot syntax, you could just put

Code:

@reboot /path/to/script.sh

in a user crontab.

Thank you for your response and I appologize for not replying sooner, i have been away. I found out where we have all our boot level jobs and that was where i put my script.

Again, thanks for your help
