How To Start WebSphere at Boot Up Time
 

Hi All. I had a potential time disaster being a newbie today. I didn't
know certain applications needed WebSphere to run after a crash. Can
someone tell me how to start WebSphere during the startup. This is what I
manually do:
cd ..
cd opt
cd WebShere
cd AppServer
cd bin
. startServer.sh server1
I need this to happen automatically. Thanks in advance.

look for a local startup file in
/etc/
in slackware it's........../etc/rc.d/rc.local

put your commands there, like.........

/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/./startServer.sh server1

Hi. Thanks for responding. I do not have an init.d file anywhere.
If I gedit the rc.local file do I need to do a cd .. then the commnd to start WebSphere? Why do I not have an init.d? Thanks.

Anybody know where to start with Websphere. I got a new client starting next tuesday and they are heavy into Websphere and Java Struts. I need to get ramped up on both real quick (hey, i have 15 years IT/programming/design/consulting experience) and need someone who knows what they are talking about to give me the heads up on which Websphere product to start with and what I'm looking at getting it setup on my Slackware 10.0 installation.
