Job Management Partner 1/Software Distribution Client Description and User's Guide

6.9.3 Setting AIX system files

The following describes the necessary settings for starting JP1/Software Distribution Client automatically, and for installing packages at the startup or shutdown of the system.
Settings for starting JP1/Software Distribution Client automatically and for installing packages at system startup:

JP1/Software Distribution Client provides a file (/NETMRDS/COM/netmdmw) for automatic starting and package installation at system startup. Use the following command to add the entries to the /etc/inittab file.
mkitab "netmdmw:2:wait:/NETMRDS/COM/netmdmw > /dev/console 2>&1 #NETM/DM/W"
 
This command adds the entries to the end line of the /etc/inittab file. When installing packages at system startup, a resident system that is activated before JP1/Software Distribution Client cannot distribute anything.
Settings for installing packages at system shutdown:

Use a text editor to open the etc/rc.shutdown file and add the following at the end of the file. Make sure that the package to be installed does not start when JP1/Software Distribution Client starts.

For a relay system

For an end workstation

For a client workstation

If the /etc/rc.shutdown file does not exist, perform the following procedure to set the attributes in the /etc/rc.shutdown file:

chmod 550 /etc/rc.shutdown

chown root /etc/rc.shutdown

chgrp shutdown /etc/rc.shutdown
