SCO Openserver 5.0.5 Auto Reboot 1

[Guest_imported]

Is there a way to configure the server to autoboot?...some setting that can be changed?

I would look at these two files. They may help depending on what you mean my "autoboot"

Autoboot is an option you can set in the first file.

/stand/etc/default/boot
/etc/shutdown

when you boot if you don't hit <enter> at the boot: prompt...it will autoboot. If you want to do a &quot;reboot&quot; of the system, at the &quot;#&quot; prompt, just type:

# init 6

this will reboot the system back into multi user mode....this is a good one to use if you need to reboot the machine and you're connected via telnet, dialup, etc. just wait 5 or 10 minutes..and reconnect to your server.

if you are saying you want the system to autoboot without having to hit &quot;enter&quot; at boot: prompt

then, simply &quot;vi&quot; the file /etc/default/boot
and set a line as:

AUTOBOOT=YES

then, the system will autoboot after power outage, etc
without having to be at the console to answer the boot
commands

if you telnet to a remote system,you can type :
# init 6.
else you can vi the follow file:
etc/default/boot and modify the line like this:
AUTOBOOT=YES
so it is.

In the /etc/default/boot file, when you set the AUTOBOOT=YES, you can also change the TIMEOUT variable from default of 60 secs to a lower #, to make it autoboot more quickly.

if you are using APC ups, you can do this easily with its powerchute software
