How to Add a Run Control Script

  1. Become superuser.

  2. Add the script to the /etc/init.d directory.


    # cp filename /etc/init.d
    # chmod 0744 /etc/init.d/filename
    # chown root:sys /etc/init.d/filename
    
  3. Create links to the appropriate rcn.d directory.


    # cd /etc/init.d
    # ln filename /etc/rc2.d/Snnfilename
    # ln filename /etc/rcn.d/Knnfilename
    
  4. Verify that the script has links in the specified directories.
