[rajesh73]

i wan to add below command in hp-ux  startup script , reson is when ever server reboot the license should start automatically

command

cd /usr/flex/112.8

./lmstat -c /usr/flex/112.8/license.dat

[Laurent Menase]

in /sbin/init.d/mystartupscript

#!/sbin/sh

#
# mystartup script
#

PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
export PATH

rval=0
set_return() {
        x=$?
        if [ $x -ne 0 ]; then
                echo "EXIT CODE: $x"
                rval=1
        fi
}

case $1 in
start_msg)
        echo "My ownstartup"
        ;;

'start')
        if [ -f /usr/flex/112.8/license.dat ]; then
               

                cd /usr/flex/112.8

               ./lmstat -c /usr/flex/112.8/license.dat

                set_return
        else
                rval=2
        fi
        ;;

*)
        echo "usage: $0 {start}"
        rval=1
        ;;
esac

exit $rval

Then

chmod +500 /sbin/init.d/mystartupscript

ln -s /sbin/init.d/mystartupscript/ /sbin/rc2.d/S995mystartupscript

just one thing, I supposed that lmstat is self demonizing, else you need to add  a & on lmstat line

ans--sorry i am not understand your question.

if /sbin/rc2.d folder is already exsists. so what can i do.
available foldersin /sbin/rc2.d , /sbin/rc3.d , /sbin/rc4.d

[Laurent Menase]

I just mean that if when you start lmstat it doesn'"t start in background then you need to replace

lmstat -c .... by lmstat -c ... &

For the run level, you can put it at rc3 ( in rc3.d) if you want, it is a g ood idea

rc4 is usually not used since initdefault is usually 3

I put it at rc2.d/S995 like that I was sure it was the last run at rc2

but indeed starting it at rc3.d is a good idea.

Hi laurent,

thanks for your replay.

why we not use below format


cd /sbin/init.d
vi licstart

cd /usr/flex/112.8

./lmstat -c /usr/flex/112.8/license.dat

:wq

once save the file

ln -s /sbin/init.d/licstart/ /sbin/rc.3/S800licstart


the above procedure is write or wrong. plesae explain below command

ln -s /sbin/init.d/licstart/ /sbin/rc.3/S800licstart - in this command s800licstart what is the meaning for S800

[rajesh73]

or else s800 is user defined. please explain

Yes, S800 is a user defined sequencing number, S for start, K for kill.  See rc(1m):
