Setup a process to start at boot up

I know its probably an easy task, but how can I make a process (flexlm license manager) to start at system bootup? I don't want to have and start it manually every time I reboot the system. system is running Solaris 8.

Thanks in advance for any help.

cat /etc/init.d/README

script should exist in /etc/init.d with links to the approprate /etc/rc?.d directory/s

You don't have to put the script in /etc/init.d and then ln to /etc/rc?.d, put the script in /etc/rc?.d
should work !

True that you don't *have* to put it into /etc/init.d, but the convention is that the scripts live in /etc/init.d and are hard linked (soft links on most other Unixes) from the /etc/rc?.d

Most people do something like:

/etc/init.d/sendmail stop
/etc/init.d/sendmail start

rather than having to know what the sequence number and run level directory is.
