5.5.3 Starting Dispatcher automatically after a reboot
If you are running Dispatcher on a Windows system, the IBM Dispatcher service that was created during the product installation is configured to be automatically started after each reboot.
If you are running Dispatcher on a UNIX system, configure the system to run the dsserver command after each reboot. Make sure your configuration filename is default.cfg, because when dsserver is run it automatically loads the default.cfg configuration file.
In our AIX environment, we enabled the automatic startup of dsserver. We added it to the inittab by running the following command:
mkitab "ds:2:wait:/usr/bin/dsserver > /dev/console 2>&1"
You can also use other scripts that are run during the server start up process, for example...
/etc/rc.tcpip
...in AIX systems or...
/etc/rc.local
...in Linux systems.
