    Description

    How can we control which functions/utilities are started when the server's rebooted?

    Resolution

    The /exlibris/startup/init.dat file (called by the /exlibris/startup/start_stop procedure) determines what things are started on server reboot.

    ./init.dat typically has the following entries:

     # oracle
     Y:oracle:oracle:/exlibris/app/oracle/product/12r1

     # apache
     Y:apache:aleph:httpd:/exlibris/aleph/u23_1:../a23_1:apachectl_auto:apachectl

     # aleph
     Y:aleph:aleph:/exlibris/aleph/u23_1:aleph_startup:aleph_shutdown


    $alephe_root/aleph_startup calls $alephe_root/aleph_start.  aleph_start (and aleph_start.private) determine which Aleph functions are started when aleph_startup is executed:

     * the xxx_SERVER_PORT lines in aleph_start (and aleph_start.private) determine which servers/ports are started automatically

     * the xxx_STARTUP_LIBS lines in aleph_start (and aleph_start.private) determine which libraries the batch queues, ue_01, etc. are automatically started in.

    Note:  The job daemon (util e/15) is started automatically because aleph_startup calls $aleph_proc/define_batch_daemons_server which sets VALID_FOR_BATCH = "Y".

    See also the article " Starting multiple pc_servers automatically ".
