If you want products on UNIX systems to automatically start when you start the system and automatically stop when you shut down the system, you register their daemons. Software AG offers a script named daemon.sh that enables you to register daemons for your products, and most products provide rc-scripts. When you register the daemon for a product using daemon.sh, an init-script is generated. 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 products below require the use of sudo when installing on a UNIX system. For these products, daemons were registered during installation or when you ran the afterInstallasRoot script after installation.

Apama and MashZone have their own commands to register their daemons, and MashZone NextGen can run as a daemon. See the product documentation for more information.
