Restart on power failure
How do I configure my workstation (Solaris 9) to restart and perform any check disk automatically if there is a power failure?

Thanks.

If it is a sparc workstation there is an auto-boot setting in the open boot prom. You'd go to the ok prompt (init 0 from the OS to get there) and use setenv to set it to yes. You could just do printenv to see all the settings as they are now, and then use the setenv to change the autoboot setting if necessary.

If it is Solaris x86 on PC hardware I'm not sure how you'd do that.
