Note: The command to start the Directory Server can be inserted into your startup shell script; then the Directory Server will be started automatically when the machine is started. The
mfds command must be inserted after the command to start up TCP/IP, because Directory Server needs TCP/IP to be running. If the command has been added to your startup shell script you would normally need to start the Directory Server only if you had shut it down since you started the machine. The startup script should also set up your environment. For more information see the section
Starting Directory Server for the First Time in your Configuration and Administration Guide.
