Notes/Domino 6 and 7 Forum : RE: Automate Domino start on Linux Box

All you need to do is make sure you have a script in the /etc/rc.d/init.d directory. Make sure you have the server starting for the mode you are booting up (like 3 text mode or 5 graphic mode).

I named my file domino.
<notes home directory> Is for you type in the user directory home for the domino user.
<domino notesdata directory> Is the location of the notesdata directory.

This domino service script references a startnotes script in the domino user's home directory. The script did a "cd <domino notesdata directory>"

-----------start of script--------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# Start/stop the Lotus Domino server
#
# chkconfig: 345 95 95
# description: This script is used to start and stop the domino
# server as a background process. It will send
# the serverID password from a file to the server.
# Communication with the server has to be done through
# console, Notes Administrator or webadmin.
#
# Usage: /etc/rc.d/init.d/domino start|stop
#
# process name: server, ...
#

# See how we were called.

case $1 in

start)

echo -n "Starting Domino server..."

su - notes -c "screen -d -m -S Domino <notes home directory>/startnotes"

echo "done."
;;

stop)
echo -n "Stopping Domino server. "

su - notes -c "cd /opt/local/notesdata; /opt/lotus/bin/server -q"
;;

*)
echo "Usage: domino {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;

esac

exit 0
# End of the domino strip
----------------end of script----------------

Now I have screen installed on the linux box. (which allows me to login as the domino user and do a screen -dr to get to the console screen).

This script (which is like the NT service) will only do a start or stop. /sbin/service domino start or /sbin/service domino stop.

Hope it helps -- Cheers -- Email me if you want the exact scripts I use.
