	STARTING EXCERPT AT BOOT TIME ON  SOLARIS

To start the Excerpt server at boot time on Solaris, use the script
"exc_boot" which is installed in the "bin" subdirectory of your
Excerpt home directory.

Solaris uses a scheme for executing boot scripts that involves making
links in subdirectories under the /etc system directory.  Note that
this scheme is very different from the "rc.local" mechanism of the
earlier SunOS 4.1.  For more information see your Solaris
documentation, or the README files under /etc/init.d.

To start the Excerpt Server at boot time, create links to the supplied
"exc_boot" script as listed below.  You probably need to be root to do
this.  Where you see $(EXCHOME), substitute the full path of your
Excerpt home directory (e.g., /usr/local/excerpt).

    ln -s $(EXCHOME)/bin/exc_boot /etc/init.d/exc_boot
    ln -s ../init.d/exc_boot      /etc/rc2.d/K00exc_boot
    ln -s ../init.d/exc_boot      /etc/rc3.d/S99exc_boot

The first command creates the required "boot" script, which accepts a
single argument, "start" or "stop" in the standard directory
/etc/init.d for Solaris.  The second two commands will trigger the
running of "exc_boot" to stop the server when entering run level 2
(usually upon shutting down) and to start the server when entering run
level 3 (on system boot to the default run level, 3).
