Take a look at rc(1m). There is a template you can use.

Steps :-

1. deciced which run-level you want your script to be called (e.g) /sbin/rc1.d or rc2.d or rc3.d

2. create file name for your script & create (soft-link) (e.g) /sbin/init.d/nfs.server

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root root 23 May 9 2009 S100nfs.server -> /sbin/init.d/nfs.server

S100nfs.server -> softlink file name

/sbin/init.d/nfs.server -> actual location of the file

Hello,

Here is the simple recipe for a new service, say, called myservice:

1. cp /sbin/init.d/template /sbin/init.d/myservice

2. vi /sbin/init.d/myservice

a. Edit start_msg statement

b. Edit stop_msg statement

c. Edit start statement

i. Change CONTROL_VARIABLE to MYSERVICE

ii. Add command to start your service

iii. Add command set_return

d. Edit stop statement

i. Change CONTROL_VARIABLE to MYSERVICE

ii. Add command to stop your service

iii. Add command set_return

3. vi /etc/rc.config.d/myservice

a. Add single line, MYSERVICE=1

4. ln -s /sbin/init.d/myservice /sbin/rc3.d/S900myservice

ln -s /sbin/init.d/myservice /sbin/rc2.d/K100myservice

This is well described in HP-UX SNA II course.

Don't forget to add the corresponding:

/etc/rc.config.d/myservice_CONTROL_FILE, to control startup (or no startup) during boot.
