Auto start zabbix_agentd on AIX 5.3

[Eric Marechal]

Hi,

What can I do to start zabbix_agentd at boot on my AIX 5.3 ?

At prompt I run the command :
"/etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd -c /etc/zabbix/zabbix_agentd.conf"
I want to run this at boot.

My AIX seems to use /etc/inittab. All the folders rcx.d are empty. In the Inittab, the default runlevel is 2.

Thanks

The /etc/init.d & /etc/rc.d/rc?.d direcotries on our AIX 5.3 systems are pretty empity
too. But we have added scripts to /ec/init.d and create the needed links in
/etc/rc.d/rc?.d to start stuff up on reboot. Seems to work for us.

I believe the inittab is just used to select at boot what runlevel your system will boot into.

I know there are certain vast differences between Linux and Unix, but you can also check /etc/rc.local. I'm not sure if this file exists on your system, if it does, this may be a place to initiate zabbix.

I'm not familiar w/ AIX so I can't really be specific.
