Starting Sun Appserver 8.1 without Typing in a Password

Since the Appserver tends to die quite often, this is good for adding a cronjob to cycle the thing every day.

Edit

/opt/SUNWappserver/sbin/passwordfile

Add the following:

AS_ADMIN_password=XXXXX

then start asadmin like so:

/opt/SUNWappserver/sbin/asadmin start-domain --user admin --passwordfile 
/opt/SUNWappserver/sbin/passwordfile domain1

(note that there should be no line wrap above)
