Create Startup /shutdown script in HP UX :- How to??

Startup and shut down script has 3 parts

1.Original script in /sbin/init.d

2.Configuratiopn file for the script in /etc/rc.config.d
(configuration variables in /etc/rc.config.d to change the behavior of scripts in
/sbin/init.d.)

3.Symlink file for the scripts under /sbin/rc*.d/


How to enable startup/shutdown scripts

Step1 : First place the script under the directory /sbin/init.d/

Step2 : Then create a sym link to the script file

Start a service : ln -s /sbin/init.d/ur_script /sbin/rc3.d/S900urscript.rc

stop a service : ln -s /sbin/init.d/ur_script /sbin/rc3.d/K900Ur_script.rc

3. Place the configuration file under /etc/rc.config.d with required variables (optional)


For Examble : CRON service

/sbin/init.d/cron --> execution script
/etc/rc.config.d/cron --> configuration file
/sbin/rc2.d/S730cron --> start sequence symbolic link
/sbin/rc1.d/K270cron --> kill sequence symbolic link
