It's not meant to be useful in any way, but rather explain how to create the startup script. The IP address example was contrived.

Run 'runlevel' at the command line and see what number is returned. It's possible that "2" isn't the default runlevel on your system. What’s your default runlevel?

But I must be doing something wrong or missing something. I basically created new a script and I called it lrgenerator under the /etc/init.d/ directory, and the script content looks just like this: export PRODUCT_DIR=/opt/HP/HP_LoadGenerator export M_LROOT=$PRODUCT_DIR export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${M_LROOT}/bin export PATH=${M_LROOT}/bin:$PATH /opt/HP/HP_LoadGenerator/bin/m_daemon_setup -install so I did the following: chmod +x lrgenerator ln -s /etc/init.d/lrgenerator /etc/rc2.d/S10lrgenerator I tried to reboot the server, and tried to echo the value of M_LROOT echo $M_LROOT and it just comes as blank. So my take is that it didn't really run the S10lrgenerator symbolic link upon restarting the server. Can you please advise regarding this issue? Thanks, Manny Hi DEREK, thanks for posting this and I think that is is really what I needed. But I must be doing something wrong or missing something.

I basically created new a script and I called it lrgenerator under the /etc/init.d/ directory, and the script content looks just like this:

export PRODUCT_DIR=/opt/HP/HP_LoadGenerator
export M_LROOT=$PRODUCT_DIR
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${M_LROOT}/bin
export PATH=${M_LROOT}/bin:$PATH
/opt/HP/HP_LoadGenerator/bin/m_daemon_setup -install

so I did the following:

chmod +x lrgenerator
ln -s /etc/init.d/lrgenerator /etc/rc2.d/S10lrgenerator

I tried to reboot the server, and tried to echo the value of M_LROOT
echo $M_LROOT
and it just comes as blank. So my take is that it didn’t really run the S10lrgenerator symbolic link upon restarting the server. Can you please advise regarding this issue?
Thanks,
Manny
