Here's the shell script we use (rc.adsm) started by init to start both
the adsm server and the scheduler client on the same system. The sleep
command is used to hold off starting the scheduler until we are
realtively certain that the server initialization is complete and that it
is ready to accept scheduler initiated sessions. Hope this helps.
