Sean When Solaris 2.4 boots into multi-user mode it runs all of the scripts in the /etc/rc2.d directory that start with a S. They are run in alpha order. They get run with a argument of 'start' or 'stop' depending on whether the system is going up or down. You can add a script to automatically start informix. Ours is called S98informix_start which with permission is reproduced as under; ------------------------------------------------------------------------- #!/bin/sh # Script to start or stop Informix Online on system startup and shutdown. # case $1 in 'start') echo "Starting Informix Online." /home/informix/startup/startonline;; 'stop') echo "Stopping Informix Online." /home/informix/startup/stoponline;; *) echo "usage: /etc/rc2.d/nwserver {start|stop}" ;; esac --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This script is owned and run by root. The scripts in the /home/informix/startup directory set the environment and start and atop informix as appropriate. The start script also resets permissions on the raw partitions as these come up as owned by root.
