Then create a conﬁguration ﬁle, /etc/rc.config.d/web_productname,

to tell the above script where to ﬁnd the web_productname daemon and

whether or not to start it up (1=yes; 0=no):

#!/sbin/sh#

# v1.0 web_productname startup/kill config

# WEB_PRODUCTNAME: Set to 1 to start

# web_productname_daemon

# WEB_PRODUCTNAMEHOME: home dir for web_productname

WEB_PRODUCTNAME=1

WEB_PRODUCTNAMEHOME=/msw/web_productname/binhp

NOTE Setting the start-up variable (WEB_PRODUCTNAME in this case) to 0, rather

than deleting the script, is the way to remove a subsystem from the

start-up sequence. This is particularly important in the case of HP and

third-party scripts; do not edit them, delete them or move them; simply

change the variable in the appropriate script under /etc/rc.config.d/

to 0 if you don’t want the corresponding start-up script to run.

Step 3. Create symbolic links that cause the script to be run at the right

place in the boot and shutdown sequences.
