Auto-Starting Instances on UNIX Systems

On UNIX Systems:

To enable an instance to auto-start after each system reboot, perform the following steps:

Log in as the instance owner.
Set up the instance owner environment. See "Setting the Operating Environment for Each DB2 Instance User on UNIX Systems" for information on how to initialize the instance owner environment.
Turn on the auto-start flag in the instance's registry with the command:
```
   db2set -i InstName DB2AUTOSTART=YES
```
where InstName is the login name of the instance.
