Edit /etc/rc.tcpip run it out of there 2. Create a new /etc/rc.local and put that in /etc/inittab (Using mkitab) to run at runlevel 2 3. Use the SYSV init support of AIX 4.3.3rml06 or later (i.e. Put a startup script names Sddwhatever - where dd == some number) in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d 4. Put an entry directly into /etc/inittab (Using mkitab) to run the executable Each has advantages over the others. 1. Is easy. Just edit go. 2. Almost as easy as 1, but you don't need to edit system supplied scripts (Some people don't like to). 3. Easy to extend. Better than 2 because all the scripts are separate. 4. Also an easy option. Very nice if your app runs in the foreground, because you can set it to respawn which means init will restart it if it exits for any reason.

Re: AIX Client automatic start for dsmcad
I'm at AIX 4.3.3 ML 10
Somewhere along ML 6 or so, additional entries were added to /etc/inittab
such that an rc script gets executed and passed the run-level much like in
Solaris and other unix environments.
Example:
l2:2:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 2
l3:3:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 3
l4:4:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 4
l5:5:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 5
l6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 6
l7:7:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 7
l8:8:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 8
l9:9:wait:/etc/rc.d/rc 9
The rc script gets a listing of user defined scripts residing in each
corresponding rc(runlevel).d directory and executes kill scripts followd
by start scripts by passing a stop or start parameter. These allow for a
much more user controlled run-level to run-level environment switch.
contents of /etc/rc.d/rc script:
#!/bin/ksh

;;

;;
esac
#check if run level directory exists
if [[ -s /etc/rc.d/rc${run_level}.d ]] then
#get a list of the kill scripts in this directory
k_list=$(ls /etc/rc.d/rc${run_level}.d | grep ^K | sort -)
#get a list of the start scripts in this directory
s_list=$(ls /etc/rc.d/rc${run_level}.d | grep ^S | sort -)
#execute kill scripts
if [[ -n ${k_list} ]] then
echo ${k_list} | while read item
do
/etc/rc.d/rc${run_level}.d/${item} stop
done
fi
#execute start scripts

echo ${s_list} | while read item
do
/etc/rc.d/rc${run_level}.d/${item} start
done
fi
else
echo Requested run level directory does not exist
fi
exit 0
The normal AIX run-level is 2, so in /etc/rc.d/rc2.d I have:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system16 Nov 13 13:46 S81tsmcad -
/etc/rc.d/tsmcad
in other runlevels, you put (or should put): K81tsmcad - /etc/rc.d/tsmcad
/etc/rc.d/tsmcad contents are:
case $1 in
'start')
nohup /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad # TSM web client
acceptor
;;
'stop')
kill -9 `ps -ef|grep dsmcad|grep -v grep|awk ' {print $2} '`
;;
esac
At anytime I can start or stop dsmcad manually;
To start: /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S81tsmcad start
To stop: /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S81tsmcad stop
WORKS GREAT!

AIX Client automatic start for dsmcad
Hi, Where is the best place for starting dsmcad during boot on AIX 4.3.3? Like /etc/rc.d/rc.local for Linux I got some suggestions yesterday but not really described exactly. I'm not a AIX Guru but I know Linux. ManagedServices is webclient schedule dsmcad is in /var/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/ I'm asking for: 1.

Re: AIX Client automatic start for dsmcad

1) I'm not familiar with tsmcad (I'm on 4.2) and I use dsmc sched to
launch the schedule proceess
2a) as root - mkitab (local:2:once:/etc/rc.local 21 /dev/console))
(see 'man mkitab')
2b) in /etc/rc.local, include this line:
nohup /usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched /dev/null 21
You'll have to create your own rc.local, AIX doesn't include a sample. Mine
is owned by root:system and permisions of 744 -- here's part of it:
begin rc.local
#!/bin/sh
#
# start entropy gathering daemon for ssh and gpg usage
/usr/bin/startsrc -s prngd
# Set memory constraints
/usr/samples/kernel/vmtune -p 3 -P 8 -R 64
/ROOT/tuning.cust
more site-specific stuff deleted ...
#
# Application startup goes after this line . . .
#
# start ess paging spaces
/usr/sbin/swapon /dev/paging00 /dev/paging01
#
# start tsm server
#
/usr/tivoli/tsm/server/bin/rc.adsmservnib /dev/console 21
# Need to let the server start up . . .
sleep 30
/usr/local/bin/start_adsm.sh
=== end rc.local =
In my case, I've put the 'nohup /usr/tivoli. . .' as the one-line entry in
/usr/local/bin/start_adsm.sh (and this is the entry from my TSM server
system).

Subject: AIX Client automatic start for dsmcad
Hi,
Where is the best place for starting dsmcad during boot on AIX 4.3.3?
Like /etc/rc.d/rc.local for Linux
I got some suggestions yesterday but not really described exactly.
I'm not a AIX Guru but I know Linux.
ManagedServices is webclient schedule
dsmcad is in /var/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/
I'm asking for:
1. On AIX is the TSMCAD Daemon the best way to run the Schedule?
2. Name of the scriptfile for start, based on the answer on the first Q.
3. Correct syntax for that entry, based on the answer on the first Q.
Thanks i advance

Re: AIX Client automatic start for dsmcad
Hi, I use /etc/inittab file. If you're not familiar with AIX, please refer to document; http://publibn.boulder.ibm.com/doc_link/en_US/a_doc_lib/cmds/aixcmds3/mkitab.htm#HDRA3059129 Entries that you should add may look like the followings; tivoliba:2:respawn:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc schedule /dev/console 21 tivolicad:2:once:/usr/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad /dev/console 21 These lines works in my environm.
