You can register daemons for webMethods Broker on UNIX systems to make those products start and stop automatically at system start and shutdown time. After installation, you can use the command line tool daemon.sh to register daemons for more Software AG products. You can also use the tool to unregister daemons for Software AG product.

The daemon.sh script generates an init-script for each daemon. The naming convention for the init-script is sag[number]instance_name , where sag is a fixed prefix string, and instance_name is a unique identifier for the daemon instance. If you accidentally specify a non-unique instance_name during daemon registration, the daemon.sh script automatically adds number to make the init-script name unique. The table below shows the locations of the generated init-scripts.

Each product daemon has an rc-script that has these features:

At system start and shutdown time, the init-script changes the current user ID from the root user to the user that owns the rc-script and then calls the rc-script with the start or stop option, as appropriate.

The daemon.sh command line tool is located in the Software AG_directory /common/bin directory. Log on to your system as the root user and call it from any current working directory.
