It is my understanding that /etc/rc is executed by BPXOINIT at startup. If its ID has UID(0), you need not change the Owner.

It appears on other platforms it is typically located somewhere owned by the user, rather than in /tmp. I also found a document: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/questions-about-files-under-tmpjavasharedresources-folder That seems to imply that /tmp/javasharedresources should be treated like /tmp. Probably the best solution is to create it at IPL as Bob Hansel suggested, but also change ownership to root just in case somebody else created it first. The umask of tasks using the directory shouldn't matter. -- Andrew Rowley Black Hill Software ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
