Ken and Dave, Thanks for the responses. I was pretty much on the same track here once we realized the links and files in init.d relationship and your responses confirmed I was heading in the write direction.
I have a couple of very basic start/stop scripts working for WAS V5 on SLES7. I need to change them to be more like the skel and other working examples. On to LDAP, TAM, WebSeal, and WAS HTTP...... :-) Thanks................. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ken wrote: Dave Boies is right, but in case you don't have time to get the book here's a summary. You don't need any special editor to create these scripts, but the format is important, and it helps to understand how the mechanism works. There's a script called "skel" in /etc/init.d that can be used as a sample. You're supposed to create the actual script in /etc/init.d, called, for example, "was". Then, in /etc/init.d/rc3.d, you put symbolic links pointing back up to it. (There's a separate directory for each runlevel, most systems come up in runlevel 3, or occasionally 5.) So in /etc/init.d/rc3.d, there should be S23was and K01was BOTH pointing up to ../was. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Regards, Terry L.
