Restarting Automatically Using inittab on Solaris 9 and Linux
Platforms
To restart your domain on the Solaris 9 or Linux platform, add a line of text to the
/etc/inittab le.
If you use /etc/rc.local, or your system’s equivalent, place a line in /etc/rc.local that calls
the desired asadmin command.
For example, to restart domain1 for an Enterprise Server installed in the opt/SUNWappserver
directory, using a password le called password.txt:
das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain --user admin
--passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt domain1
Put the text on one line. The rst three letters are a unique designator for the process and can be
altered.
To restart a node agent, the syntax is similar. For example, to restart agent1 for an Enterprise
Server installed in the opt/SUNWappserver directory, using a password le called
password.txt:
das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-node-agent --user admin
--passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt agent1
Restarting Automatically on the Microsoft Windows Platform
To restart automatically on Microsoft Windows, create a Windows Service and prevent the
service from shutting down when a user logs out.
Creating a Windows Service
Use the appservService.exe and appserverAgentService.exe executable les shipped with
the Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server in conjunction with the Service Control command
(sc.exe) provided by Microsoft.
The sc.exe command comes with Windows XP and is in the system32 subdirectory of the
Windows installation directory (usually either C:\windows\system32 or C:\winnt\system32).
As of this writing, the Windows 2000 sc.exe is available for download at
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/reskit/win2000/sc.zip. For more information on using sc.exe,
see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?

.
Use appservService.exe and appservAgentService.exe as follows:
