how to put my script in bootup

I'm new to Solaris. I have setup a Mail server using java as an MTA and installed Clamav for antivirus. I copy the script of clamd to /etc/init.d.
I usually up the clamd using /etc/init.d/clamd start

The question is how can I put the script in boot mode? When I restart, it will automatically run and no need to login just to up the clamav

How can I know the current level mode?

You are half way there, you have a startup script in /etc/init.d

Check which runlevel you use(example):

Code:

who -r
run-level 2 2007-10-28 17:02

If as in the example this runs in level 2 then as root:

Code:

ln –s /etc/init.d/clamd /etc/rc2.d/S99clamd

Which version of Solaris are you using?

If supported, I would suggest writing a service manifest for the service to be managed by SMF. The system documentation is sufficient to easely complete the task.
