hi all, i'am new in hp-ux.
i wanna ask bout how to configure autostart in hp-ux. if in linux i configure in /etc/rc.d/rc.local but in hp-ux where i can configure??
i try searching manual for that, but i can't find them... help please...

All services have their cinfiguration files in /etc/rc.config.d/

yeah, but this application doesn't have service in /etc/rc.config.d
this is jbase application and i configure in /usr/jbc/bin. if i want use this application i must do this :
#cd /usr/jbc/bin
#./jLicServer start
#./jSlimServer start

if i reboot the system, i must do that again. i'am sick doing all this manualy..
i think in linux i can write the script to /etc/rc.d/rc.local (no matter i restart the system, it will start)
but in hp-ux i can't find that...

Your startup script must be stored in /sbin/init.d and a configuration script for your start/stop script is stored in /etc/rc.config.d (different from Linux). Then to put your application in the right sequence of startup and shutdown steps, you create a symlink in the /sbin/rc* directories. These symlinks are executed in alphabetical order so the S### and K### names will ensure that scripts are run at the right time. The above is a summary of the previously mentioned URL. Be sure you model your application script using the file /sbin/init.d/template.

Do you have to do this to run a command at startup? Is is possible to just put the startup script in /sbin/init.d/ ??

Hi,

Look at the script /sbin/init.d/nfs.client
It has the standard structure. Pay attention that on boot all scripts run twice - wth start_message and start parameters, and on shutdown as well, but with stop.
It's worth to have a configuration file, in the /etc/rc.config.d directory and to load it in your script. In this case you may manage your script without changing it.
