DB2 Express 10.1 auto start on Open Suse 12.1

Found the solution on this link http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/install-boot-login/475468-search-inittab-entry-replacement-systemd.html


The idea is translate old initab to new systemd style.

1. /etc/systemd/system/fmc.service

[Unit]
Description=DB2 Fault Monitor Coordinator
After=getty.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/opt/ibm/db2/V10.1/bin/db2fmcd
Restart=always

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
2. systemctl enable fnc.service


Lotus Notes 8.5 fails to start

Part I. I don't known why my lotus notes can't start up anymore.
My OS is RHEL 6 I check my process, I saw a program /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/taskldr /opt/ibm/lotus/notes/taskldr still running. After I kill this process, I can start  the lotus notes now.
Lesson learn: Some program depend on the other program and some program didn't tell you what's it depend on.

Part II. Today (5/29/2013) after Lotus Note 8.5 freeze, then I do an update. It just wouldn't start again. There is no process I can kill, I try Zap program many time. At the end, I just move the ~/lotus folder to ~/lotus.bak, and start lotus note 8.5 again. Now it like brand new, add note id file, then it work.
Lesson learn: Don't fight too hard for problem, sometime start over is most easy way to keep thing going.
