## Restarting Automatically on UNIX Platforms

### Restarting a Domain

To restart your domain on a UNIX platform, add a line containing the appropriate `asadmin start-domain` command to your `/etc/inittab` file. If you use `/etc/rc.local,` or your system’s equivalent, place a the desired `asadmin` command in `/etc/rc.local`.

For example, to restart `domain1` for an Troubleshooting Guide installed in the `/opt/SUNWappserver` directory, using a password file called `password.txt`, add the following line to `/etc/inittab` or `/etc/rc.local`:

    das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-domain --user admin
    --passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt domain1

Be sure to put the text on one line. The first three letters are a unique designator for the process and can be altered.

### Restarting a Node Agent

To restart a node agent, the syntax is similar. For example, to restart `agent1` for an Troubleshooting Guide installed in the `/opt/SUNWappserver` directory using a password file called `password.txt`, add the following line to `/etc/inittab` or `/etc/rc.local`:

    das:3:respawn:/opt/SUNWappserver/bin/asadmin start-node-agent --user admin
    --passwordfile /opt/SUNWappserver/password.txt agent1
