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.

Many Software AG products provide rc-scripts and a script named daemon.sh so you can register daemons for those products. 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.

Other Software AG products provide rc-scripts but not the daemon.sh script. You can use the daemon.sh script from another product, or you can create your own init-script and run commands to register those daemons.

Products not mentioned in this appendix do not support UNIX daemon mode.

This appendix explains how to use rc-scripts and the daemon.sh script to register daemons, and how to create init-scripts and run commands to register daemons.

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 Presto can run as a daemon. See the product documentation for more information.
