Question

I have Vertica installed in an Ubuntu virtual machine and I'd like to have a specific database started during the boot, instead of me having to login, open admintools and start from there.

So, is there a command line that would allow me to start it without user interaction? In which run level should I add this? Also, I use a specific user to run everything Vertica related, does this need to be taken into account in my boot script?

Was it helpful?

Solution

Why not just set the restart policy(reboot on boot) in your admintools "Set Restart Policy" You have 3 option : Never ksafe always -- chose this one to start on boot.

And that is it ! enter image description here
