4.2.3 Startup and Shutdown Automation on Linux

BlueDragon Linux installations include a script for simplifying the starting and stopping

of both BlueDragon Server and Server JX configurations. The script is constructed in the

“rc” standard form which allows for integration into the system startup and shutdown

sequence of both Linux systems. This script is named and installed as follows for these

respective systems and BlueDragon editions:

Linux

/etc/rc.d/init.d/BlueDragon_Server

/etc/rc.d/init.d/BlueDragon_Server_JX

Currently, BlueDragon Server installers only create the script, but do not assume con-

figuration into any specific run-level. Therefore, in order to use these scripts at system

startup and shutdown, they must be manually linked into the appropriate “rc” subdirec-

tory. For example, to startup BlueDragon Server JX on a Solaris system during the multi-

user state (that is, run-level 3), the following command must be used to create the neces-

sary link. The same style of symbolic link should be used with Linux systems with the

appropriate directory name changes.

ln -s /etc/init.d/BlueDragon_Server_JX /etc/rc3.d/S95bluedragon

Additionally, links should be added to shutdown the BlueDragon Server for appropriate

states/run-levels. For example, the following commands can be used to configure the

shutdown of BlueDragon Server JX for all single-user states (run-levels 0, 1, 2, S) on

Solaris systems:

ln -s /etc/init.d/BlueDragon_Server_JX /etc/rc0.d/K95bluedragon

ln -s /etc/init.d/BlueDragon_Server_JX /etc/rc1.d/K95bluedragon

ln -s /etc/init.d/BlueDragon_Server_JX /etc/rc2.d/K95bluedragon

ln -s /etc/init.d/BlueDragon_Server_JX /etc/rcS.d/K95bluedragon

Note that although the specific symbolic link name (S95bluedragon & K95bluedragon)

need not be exactly as in these examples, they must conform to the “rc” specifications.

Most importantly, startup scripts MUST begin with “Sxx” and shutdown scripts must

begin with “Kxx”, where “xx” is any two digit number. See the UNIX system specific

documentation for the “rc” scripts details.

4.3 Installing on Mac OS X

The BlueDragon Server and Server JX installers for Mac OS X have the following file

names:

BlueDragon_Server_61.zip

BlueDragon_Server_JX_61.zip

Each is a "zip" compressed archive which expands to the BlueDragon Server Installer

Application (".app"). Some browsers will automatically expand it to the desktop. Double-

click the BlueDragon installer icon to launch Setup. Please review the Software License
