The Linux™ platform Notes® install package contains
a script that reduces Notes client
startup time after the first operating system startup.
About this task
This procedure uses the supplied
ntspreld.sh script,
which calls the ntspreld program to preload several key libraries
used by Notes to reduce Notes startup time. When enabled, Notes will automatically preload
several libraries to reduce its startup time.
Note: A similar capability for Windows™ platform users is described in the
topic Reducing Notes startup
time using a preloader.
Procedure
- Install or upgrade Notes on
the Linux platform client but
do not start Notes.
Note: If Notes is running, shut it down.
- Navigate to the Notes install
directory, for example /opt/ibm/notes and locate
the ntspreld.sh script.
- Switch to root user and enable (or subsequently disable)
the script.
Note: You must run the script as the root user
to add the preload command to the
/etc/rc.d/after.local or
/etc/rc.local files.
The script
/opt/ibm/notes/ntspreld.sh cannot
be added as a startup program; it must be executed as root to either
enable or disable the preloader as follows:
- /opt/ibm/notes/ntspreld.sh -enable
- /opt/ibm/notes/ntspreld.sh -disable
Once the script is enabled, the preloader will run whenever a Notes user logs in, until the
root user runs the -disable program
- Restart the Notes client.
