  • 1.  CA UIM 8.4 - Robot AIX auto start on server reboot

    Posted Sep 22, 2016 10:31 PM

    Hi,

     

    I have robot installed on an AIX server and wondering how I can find out if the robot will automatically start upon server reboot.

     

    I have read the documentation (Start, Stop, or Uninstall a Robot (Command Line)), and there is a difference between Linux and AIX.  Under Linux, the command for auto restart is in init.d, how can I identify if the robot will auto start in AIX?

     

    Thanks

    May be /etc/inittab in AIX?

     

    IBM AIX autostartup and shutdown scripts 

     

    Looks for "nimbus" process and it should be running .

     

     

    Start
    /usr/bin/startsrc –s nimbus

    Stop
    /usr/bin/stopsrc –s nimbus

    Hi Miller

    On AIX make sure you run the Nimbus service script as root: /opt/nimsoft/install/service-ctrl.sh enable   This should put it in your startsrc.

    Also please update you robot from 7.96.  Nobody should be running that release of the robot as it was not a very good release.
