1.151: How do I start local daemons at system startup?

AIX does neither use the BSD style rc.local file nor the System V style
/etc/rc*.d startup files directories. To add local daemons to the system
startup sequence in a BSD rc.local style use the following command to
create an /etc/inittab entry:

# mkitab -i rcnfs "rclocal:2:wait:/etc/rc.local >/dev/console 2>&1"
# touch /etc/rc.local
# chmod 700 /etc/rc.local

Then put the command lines to start the daemons in /etc/rc.local.
