Dear Friends ,

I have to create a script . I want this script initialize automatically when the server goes up . For this reason , I keep it into '/etc/init.d' , /etc/rc.d/rc3.d' and '/etc/rc.d/rc5.d' directory . But it does not working . Like Linux , I cannot find any option Like "ntsysv" . In this moment , i cannot understand the problem .

Plz help me regarding this issue, so that i can start my script during startup the server .

There are a few ways to do this. I personally edit my scripts on *NIX and BSD systems and throw them in /etc/rc.local, at boot time this script is automagically execute.

You could also edit, /etc/inittab and customize the script to startup at certain run levels etc.

if you want the script to shut down after switching runlevels/rebooting etc edit.
/etc/rc.shutdown.

AIX default runlevel is level 2. So, you have to put your script inside rc2.d. Maybe that's why it's not working!

AIX inittab tells you the default runlevel at its first line. To check current runlevel, just check /etc/.initlevel.
