rc.local in aix or equal file

[yordangs]

in linux we have the rc.local file where we put all the programs who we need to start up on the boot . what is the equal file on aix

 

[aixnag]

you can use
/etc/inittab file to start any programs

hi,
warning to manage /etc/inittab !
In theory, there are appropriate commands to add,rem...
lines from it, but if you don't know well them, use
vi (make a copy before).

choose a line with xxx:2:wait:xxxxxx
copy it and add it at the bottom.
modify it as:

myrc:2:wait:/etc/rc.myservices

the first field is a label, the last is the command.

Then create /etc/rc.myservices, put your commands inside,
chmod u+x it, try it launching from command line.

If you are sure to have edit well inittab, reboot.

For next times, edit your file, not inittab.

have a look at thread thread52-346238

There are commands for modifying the inittab:

mkitab
chitab
lsitab
rmitab

These commands should be used instead of directly modifying /etc/inittab with vi.

We use rc.local on our AIX network.

I use /etc/inittab with vi and add rc.local line to be started.
