- Settings for starting JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent automatically and for installing packages at system startup:
-
JP1/IT Desktop Management 2 - Agent 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.
