Use the template in /usr/sbin to enter the start and stop commands for the script

Link the start/stop script you created to the appropriate run levels

i.e.
/sbin/rc3.d/S900scriptname
/sbin/rc2.d/K100scriptname

Remember to put a flag in /etc/rc.config.d directory as well

It sounds complicated, but is actually quite easy. Look at existing files for guidance

Hi Christian,

go in /sbin/init.d and take a look
at
"template"
just to have a idea/procedure.

Hope that helps
regards

And the official doc:

See Chapter 5 "Administering a System" - in particular, "Customizing Start-up and Shutdown" section.

Hi Christian:

The "original", definitive whitepaper on this subject(AFAIK) appeared during the 9x to 10x rework HP-UX underwent. In fact, it's available on the docs.hp.com website under 10.x:

If you don't want to mess with custom /sbin/init.d/* scripts, starting your applications in /etc/inittab is easier.

Hi Christian ,

Check this out for a good understading of startup of programs through /sbin/init.d/ and /sbin/rcx.d/S...
(where x is 0 1 2 3 4 )

Cheers,
