OpenLink Product Support does not provide customized shell scripts to automate Broker startup or any other feature of our software. However, we do provide a sample shell script as a courtesy to those individuals who may want general guidance before creating their own scripts.

>> Begin file

#!/bin/sh
# 
# Run the OpenLink Request Broker

# For entry in /etc/rc2.d/SnnOpenLinkBroker, where nn is 90 or higher.
# Typically, nn is 98 so that it precedes the CDE login process which
# does not return.

BIN_DIR=/usr/openlink/bin

if [ "$1" = stop ]
then
   echo "Shutting down OpenLink Request Broker ..."

   # This code derived from the OpenLink rqbshut script.
