Need to setup WebView to start automatically on reboot 

Environment

APM 10.8

Resolution

To start the WebView automatically on reboot, create the below file under: /etc/systemd/system/wvctrl.service

# File location:
# /etc/systemd/system/wvctrl.service
[Unit]
Description=Start Introscope Web View
After=syslog.target network.target emctrl.target
ConditionFileIsExecutable=/opt/CA/Introscope/bin/WVCtrl.sh

[Service]
Type=forking

Environment=JAVA_HOME="/opt/CA/Introscope/jre/bin"

ExecStart=/opt/CA/Introscope/bin/WVCtrl.sh start
ExecStop=/opt/CA/Introscope/bin/WVCtrl.sh stop

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target 
Once the file is created, test the WebView service that can be started with:

~# systemctl start wvctrl
If it works, enable it for system-startup using:

~# systemctl start wvctrl
You can stop the webview with:

~# systemctl start wvctrl
and remove it from autostart with:

~# systemctl disable wvctrl
