4460.0. "Autostart Enterprise server at boot time?" by GALINA::SSMITH (Sheldon Smith@MPO, dtn 442-2254) Fri Feb 07 1997 18:22

I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere, but I'll be darned if *I* can find
it.

I've installed Enterprise Server V2.01 on a UNIX V4.0B system. When it reboots,
I have to manually start the Admin server, then I have to "turn on" the general
server.

How can this be done automatically/unattended?

Thanks in advance....

    Sheldon,
    
    If you look at the online help provided with the Enterprise
    Server,  it details how to do this.  You can either add a line
    to your inittab file, or use RC scripts.
    
    regards,
    steve
4460.2/sbin/rc3.d/S*LGP30::FLEISCHERwithout vision the people perish (DTN 381-0426 ZKO1-1)Sun Feb 09 1997 13:3121
        On Digital UNIX, startup scripts are usually put into
        special directories which are scanned and run at the
        appropriate time.

        On our system, in the /sbin/rc3.d/ directory, we have a link
        to a shell script that runs the appropriate *start* scripts
        in the Netscape server directory tree.  There's a special
        form for names in that directory which indicates the relative
        order for the execution of the scripts (our link is called
        /sbin/rc3.d/S88webu-ns-startup.sh) -- the file linked to that
        looks like this:

        #!/sbin/sh
        #
        /usr/ns-home/start-admin
        /usr/ns-home/https-webu-main/start

        Note that it is not necessarily a good idea to automatically
        start the admin server.
