Start on Boot on Web Server 7
I installed Web Server 7 Preview 3 using the express installation. The Web server works excellently. However, I cannot find out how to set up the Start on Boot feature. Can you help? I've found documentation on how to turn off the feature (thanks vijay: http://blogs.sun.com/vijay/), but I want to turn it on.

unfortunately, there isn't a simple way to turn it on other than installing again and choosing the custom mode of installation and then saying 'y' to automatic start on boot. i wish, we had support for this within our admin.

Of course, the script created in /etc/init.d is the same on any installation (with minor path modifications) - so you could do an installation to a test system and copy the file and link it yourself.
One thing to note - the start script uses logic like this:
S1WS_HOME=INSTALLATION DIRECTORY HERE
S1WS_VERSION="6.1"
rc_failed="Failure"
rc_success="Success"
ret=$rc_success
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Sun ONE Web Server $S1WS_VERSION starting ($S1WS_HOME)"
for each_server in $S1WS_HOME/https-*
do
if [ -d $each_server ]; then
echo " `basename $each_server`: \c"
$each_server/start || ret=$rc_failed
echo "$ret"
fi
done
If you have a consistant naming convention, you can modify the "for each server" statement so it only starts your servers and not the admin server...
