You can write a small script and put that in your legacy init sequence like

#!/bin/ksh
# /etc/init.d/startsaponboot
#
# start sap system on BOOT
#
# 29.06.2005    md      initial version
#

LOGFILE=/var/adm/startsaponboot.log
LINE="-----------------------------------------------"
DATE=`date`

echo $LINE >> $LOGFILE
echo $LINE >> $LOGFILE
echo $DATE >> $LOGFILE
echo "Starting Listener..." >> $LOGFILE
su - orapai -c "lsnrctl start"

echo $LINE >> $LOGFILE
echo "Starting SAP-System..." >> $LOGFILE
su - paiadm -c "startsap"

put that as "startsaponboot" to /etc/init.d and then link it to the runlevels:

cd /etc/rc3.d
ln -s ../init.d/startsaponboot S99startsaponboot

Then do a

touch /var/adm/startsaponboot.log

and reboot the machine to check if it works

Of course, this is for a SAP system - you can adapt it for smd with appropriate user and start commands.

is there any possibility that we can set it in inittab

[markus_doehr2]

If it's Solaris 9 or lower - yes, if it's Solaris 10 or you plan an upgrade to it, it will work - once. On Solaris 10 the inittab is managed by the SMF framework and will get overwritten each time the machine boots.

Why do you want to put that in inittab? Any special reason for this?

like for example CCMS agents in order to restart automatically when the system is restarted, we will update /etc/inittab

/usr/sap/..... -DCCMS pf /usr/sap....

in same way is there any way we can automate the restart process without script.

[markus_doehr2]

Are you on Solaris 10?

Markus

[Former Member]

Yes, solaris 10

[markus_doehr2]

In that case the start of the ccms agents will also work until the next reboot - when inittab is rebuilt.

Solaris 10 has the SMF framework to do exactly that - starting and controlling services, restart them on failure etc.

A good example is here:

It's a bit of work to set that up initially but you have a very good control about the services.
