These particular linux boxes I use the traditional method with the inittab are
SUSE linux.
So I don't believe the 'upstart' will work for these boxes.
But we have a mixed bag, so if anyone has script for the upstart I can
steal.....
Thanks!

Hello,
It won't change anything since /etc/inittab is not processesed anymore (on RHEL
6+ witch used upstart). See links to Red Hat documentation I provided earlier
or man 5 inittab.
I can send you a sample init script (to be placed in /etc/init/) if you want to
start dsmc sched.

Hello. Well, after checking the steps for Traditional method on page 235, the
difference we had was on the entry in the inittab file.
Book:
tsmsched::once:/usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # TSM scheduler
Ours:
"item::once:/usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # TSM scheduler"
1. Are the quotes assumed?
2. Any difference by using the word ‘item’?

On Linux I always just set it up with dsmcad; all my customers run dsmcad
anyway because so few of them have XWindows environments, and so they use the
dsmcad webclient for GUI access.
On Windows I still tend to use the old scheduler-only mode, as most of my
customers had rather just RDP into the server because it's faster and you don’t
get hung up with java issues on Windows with the browser.
So I guess that's a way of saying I do whichever the customer prefers!

I'm used to associate the scheduler with the dsmcad. Which mode do you prefer ?

Hello Wanda,
Please note that Jeanne seems to use the TSM Scheduler in the "traditional
autonomous" mode, not in "CAD managed" mode.
The script provided with the client package begining with TSM 6.3 only allows
to start the dsmcad, and not "dsmc sched".
A news script must be written, or the managedservices option must be change to
include schedule also.

It's not the redhat book, it's just the TSM client book for Unix. I'll mail
you a copy directly.
And those are all the instructions!
The client install *should* have created everything you need.
Once you have set up the dsm.sys so that you can successfully run dsmc i, try
doing this (as root):
chkconfig --add dsmcad (that's a space and 2 hyphens) service dsmcad start
Then do: ps -ef | grep dsm
You should see the dsmcad daemon running, and it should restart after a reboot.

Thanks. We are only at v 6.4.1 for linux right now.
But I will find the redhat book for 6.4.1 and see there in instructions for the
auto startup.

Dunno what version of the client you are installing, or what version of Linux?
But the client manual says how to do it on Linux now if it's relatively recent.
All I do on Redhat is follow these instructions from the book below.
I do the :"hkconfig --add dsmcad" (those are 2 hyphens), then "service dsmcad
start".
<< snip from 7.1.1 book >>
On Linux clients, the installation program creates a startup script for the
client acceptor daemon (dsmcad) in /etc/init.d. The client acceptor daemon
(dsmcad) must be started before it can manage scheduler tasks, or manage the
web client. As root, use the following command to start, stop, or restart the
daemon, or check its status:
service dsmcad start
stop
restart
status
To enable the Client Acceptor Daemon to start automatically after a system
restart, add the service as follows, at a shell prompt:
# chkconfig --add dsmcad

Subject: [ADSM-L] TSM on Linux Box
Hello. On a windows box, when installing TSM, there's the option towards the
end of the client install to choose whether you want the TSM server to start up
automatically when the client server (node) has been restarted.
How do I do this on a linux box? I thought if I put:
"item::once: /usr/bin/dsmc sched > /dev/null 2>&1 # TSM scheduler"
in the etc/inittab file, this was the auto startup.
But this does not auto start the 'dsmc schedule', because the node missed the
backup and I have to manually do the 'nohup' command.
I'm not seeing anything on the GUI and I don't know if I need anything
additional in the .opt or .sys file.
I have 'managedservices webclient' currently in the .sys file.
In this link:
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__kb.mit.edu_confluence_display_istcontrib_TSM-2B6-2Bfor-2BLinux-2B-2D-2BInstall-2C-2BConfigure-2C-2BSet-2BUp-2C-2Band-2BConfirm-2Bthe-2BScheduler&d=AwIFAg&c=BY0WRPt8vrhqs_gNwjcMsqT0O3k78MJMGj95ah0eDEA&r=7l_gtgCLb17w6YLNyl5xk2NLH8XcWIQUFrWhANDp1mE&m=7jle81k8NcMseFKXenq1iad-MMDOzObZDCjFHcc1Zcs&s=Hew1At-2H4Pku2TnCueQs4CRN9mx8L6HhAquwJirGu8&e=
It mentions that using the /etc/inittabl to autostart doesn't seem to work any
more and it suggests to create a /etc/init/dsm-sched.conf file with some
start,stop,respawn and exec options.
Any thoughts, knowledge, comments will be appreciated.
Thanks!
