2.7 Starting the SRA at Freeway Boot-up
Once you are able to run your modified SRA successfully from the BSD shell, you will
want to put it into use on the Freeway system. Since you probably don’t want to start the
SRA manually every time the Freeway server reboots, you need to have a method of
starting the SRA at Freeway boot time. This section shows the different methods to start
your SRA at boot time.
2.7.1 Main SRA Startup File (rc.startsra)
Instructions for starting an SRA normally reside in a file called rc.startsra in the /tmp/boot
directory. When the Freeway server boots up, it first executes the instructions in the
bootcfg file. Then it looks for the existence of the rc.startsra file. If it exists, the Freeway
will treat rc.startsra as an ordinary shell script file and will execute the commands in
that file as the root user. The
rc.startsra file is used to start SRAs running on the Freeway
as well as to set up additional services on the Freeway (such as syslog, cron, etc.).
If you have the basic server software installed on your Freeway, then the rc.startsra file
does not exist. If you are not sure if this file exists on your Freeway server, you can use
the following shell commands to check:
cd /tmp/boot
ls -al rc.*
ls: rc.*: No such file or directory
