Thank you so much for your kind response.

Hi Thomas, Thank you again for your steps.

Could you please provide the script/command for the IC08_IHS.ini service.

Also please share the db2 autostart script when restart the Linux OS.

Hi Elango,

Here are instructions on configuring your environment so that DB2 will load on startup: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/db2-wont-start-correctly-after-reboot

In my environment I use simple scripts that run via cron jobs when the system starts. For example, this script starts my IHS server:

#!/bin/bash
source /opt/scripts/conf

echo Starting HTTP Servers...

cd $ihs

./adminctl start > /dev/null

./apachectl start

This is my script for DMGR:

#!/bin/bash
source /opt/scripts/conf

cd $dmgr

echo Starting DMGR...

./startManager.sh > /dev/null


I have them sourced to a file called conf, which sets variables for my bin directories:

dmgr="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/dmgr/bin"
ihs="/opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin"

This makes the scripts easy to update for different environments. I just update the conf file if the directory paths are different.

To run them at startup, I have the following crontab entries:

@reboot /opt/scripts/startdmgr.sh &
@reboot /opt/scripts/startihs.sh &


These are just examples. I have similar scripts for all of my WAS app servers.

I hope this helps.
