How can I do adding a service

[hsosa]

Hi
I installed the Apache Web Server from IBM Toolbox for Linux cd.
From the path /usr/local/bin , I can run the apachectl start, and works fine.
But, now the Customer wants that it run like a service
using...startsrc -s apache...and he can see the service and stopping whatever he are using stopsrc command.

How can I do this?

In order to do that you have to use the make subsystem command (mkssys). Do a 'man mkssys' to find the correct syntax. It does work because I have used it in the past.

Hi

It looks like this.
-s subsystemname
-p path to Daemon
-a "here are all Arguments of the Daemon, -D = Daemon Mode"
-u 0 = root
-S = SIGKILL = 15
-f = KILL = 9
-R = Restart if it goes down
-G = Subsystem Group

mkssys -s sshd -p "$sbindir/sshd" -a '-D' -u 0 -S -n 15 -f 9 -R -G ssh

If the customer wants an easy way to stop & start services why not suggest using webmin?

It's really easy to install
