You can configure EVM to start automatically at system boot and stop automatically at system shutdown through the use of run control files.
A sample script named Sample_rc_script is located in the $EVM_HOME/bin/samples directory.
Rename the sample script to evm.rc and place it in the directory /etc/init.d .
Create the following symbolic links in /etc/rc3.d
S40evm -> /etc/init.d/evm.rc
K40evm -> /etc/init.d/evm.rc
The start sequence of 40 in these file names is arbitrary. You may choose any number you want to achieve a desired startup sequence.
The only exception is on the computer that is running the EVM Server. On the EVM Server, you must ensure that EVM starts after the HS-Series steamd agent process, which is given a start sequence of 30 by default.
See the init.d man page for more information on using run control files.
