Restarting Automatically Using inittab on Solaris 9 and Linux Platforms

To restart your domain on the Solaris 9 or Linux platform, add a line of text to the /etc/inittab file.

If you use /etc/rc.local, or your system’s equivalent, place a line in /etc/rc.local that calls the desired asadmin command.

For example, to restart domain1 for an Enterprise Server installed in the opt/SUNWappserver directory, using a password file called password.txt:

das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain --user admin 
--passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt domain1

Put the text on one line. The first three letters are a unique designator for the process and can be altered.

To restart a node agent, the syntax is similar. For example, to restart agent1 for an Enterprise Server installed in the opt/SUNWappserver directory, using a password file called password.txt:

das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-node-agent --user admin 
--passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt agent1
