Using the mvsprsd command to start the daemon

To start the mvsprsd daemon whenever the InfoPrint Manager system starts, you can include the mvsprsd command in the /etc/rc.mvsd.daemons file. This file is executed when the AIX operating system is initialized.

Use this procedure to start the mvsprsd daemon when the system starts:

  1. Use a text editor to open the /etc/rc.mvsd.daemons file and find these lines: 
    # List of MVS Download daemons to be started by rc.mvsd
#
# The syntax of mvsprsd follows:
#
# mvsprsd  [-p port] [-d file_system] [-n 1] [-x shell_script]\
          [-X additional_exit_parameters] [-q destination]
#         [-k] [-B] [-H host_code_page] [-L local_code_page] [-t] [-w] [-e]
  2. Add lines similar to these to this file: 
    # This is a comment to document that the following command
# starts the mvsprsd daemon automatically at system startup
/usr/lpp/psf/bin/mvsprsd -p 5400 -d /files1 -d /files2 \
-x /usr/lpp/pd/bin/mvsprpsm.sh -q serv2-lp
    Note that this example uses the default shell script (mvsprpsm.sh) and specifies the serv2–lp InfoPrint Manager server.
