Use the terminal to start the PingDataMetrics server at boot time.

Create the startup script as the non-root PingDataMetrics server user.
In the following example, ds is the user.
```
$ bin/create-rc-script --outputFile Ping-Identity-ME.sh \
  --userName ds
```
Sign on as root.
Move the generated Ping-Identity-ME.sh script into the /etc/init.d directory, and create symlinks to it from the /etc/rc3.d directory (starting with an "S" to start the server) and the /etc/rc0.d directory (starting with a "K" to stop the server).
```
# mv Ping-Identity-ME.sh /etc/init.d/
# ln -s /etc/init.d/Ping-Identity-ME.sh /etc/rc3.d/S50-Ping-Identity-ME.sh
# ln -s /etc/init.d/Ping-Identity-ME.sh /etc/rc0.d/K50-Ping-Identity-ME.sh
```
