Hi,


We have done it like this in /etc/inittab:

dsmc:234:once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmcad >/dev/null 2>&1
dsm1:234:once:/opt/tivoli/tsm/client/ba/bin/dsmc sched
-se=<schedulernodeid> >/dev/null

You must remember that in HP-UX you cannot have more than 4 digits in ID
part of inittab file.


Hope this helps.
