This may seem like a simple question, but what is the usual method for
automatic startup of a server, such as Apache?
We have been thinking about using inittab, since this allows for
restarting on failure. Other choices would be /etc/rc* or something else.
It seems to me that this should be a Solved Problem, but I have seen
no reference to it.
TIA

No. Apache is a daemon and will not work correctly when run inQuote:>This may seem like a simple question, but what is the usual method for

This depends entirely on your OS and varies widely. For example,Quote:>restarting on failure. Other choices would be /etc/rc* or something else.

1. Log file for inittab at startup?
I have placed an entry into the inittab file to start the Tivoli ADSM
scheduler (like below):
adsm::once:/usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 #TSM scheduler
After the machine boots the scheduler isn't running but I can start it
by issuing the /usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 command from the
command line. I'm wondering if there's a place to check and see why
init can't start this scheduler when I boot. I have looked at
/var/adm/messages and there is no entry. Anyone got any suggestions?
Thanks.
