How to automate the run of JaSFtp on Linux after rebooting the server?

This is a very good question. This answer applies to Version 8.x-9.x only.

The software consists of the user interface and an Engine which runs tasks and schedules. You should setup the Engine to start during reboot.

This procedure is detailed and tested for RedHat Linux. The procedure will be similar, but may not be exactly the same on your unix system:
1) login as root and backup the following file:
/etc/rc.d/rc.local

2) Edit the file rc.local and add the following lines to the end of the file:
cd /../../hitek9 (i.e. Automize or JaSFtp folder)
jre/bin/java -Xrs -cp .:help:jh.jar:mail.jar:activation.jar:net.jar:jakoro.jar:maverick-all.jar:sinetfactory.jar:bsh.jar:hitek9.jar com.hitek.engine.Engine &

OR: if you installed the java machine separately, use
java -Xrs -cp .:help:jh.jar:mail.jar:activation.jar:net.jar:jakoro.jar:maverick-all.jar:sinetfactory.jar:bsh.jar:hitek9.jar com.hitek.engine.Engine &

3) Save the file.

4) IMPORTANT: First run a test script file containing the above 2 lines of code manually from the command line. Confirm that the engine starts running.

5) VERY IMPORTANT: Also, ensure that the command prompt is returned. The & at the end of the launch command makes sure that the scheduler engine runs in the background. This makes sure that your system will not hang on startup waiting for scheduler engine to return.

I guess that you do not see the process as a normal user is because the engine is started as root. While logged on as normal user, do you have any problems adding or deleting tasks or running tasks etc..? I do not remember having any problems or any users reporting problems while doing this?

Forgot something: to prevent the engine from shutting down when you logoff, you should add the -Xrs switch:

java -Xrs -cp .:help:jh.jar:mail.jar:activation.jar:net.jar:jakoro.jar:maverick-all.jar:sinetfactory.jar:bsh.jar:hitek9.jar com.hitek.engine.Engine &
