Set the environment variable GATED to 1 in the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. This causes gated to start automatically whenever the system is
booted.
Reboot your system, or issue the following command
to run the gated startup script:
Command line arguments for starting gated may be specified with the GATED_ARGS environment variable in the file /etc/rc.config.d/netconf. Table 8-5 “Command Line Options for gated” lists the commonly

Table 8-5 Command Line Options for gated
Flag | Effect |
|---|
-t | When used
alone, -t causes gated to log all error messages and route changes. It
turns on the general trace option automatically. When -t is followed by one or more trace options, only
those options are turned on. (See “Specifying Tracing
Options”.)
Multiple trace options are separated by commas. The -t flag always must immediately precede the other
flags. |
-C | Specifies
that the configuration file will be parsed for syntax errors, then gated will exit. |
-c | Specifies
that the configuration file will be parsed for syntax errors, and
then gated will exit. A dump file is created if there are
no errors. Only the trace option general is logged. See the trace options that are specified
in the configuration file. |
-n | Specifies
that gated will not modify the kernel's routing
tables. |
For more information about the options that you can specify
on the command line, type man 1M gated at the HP-UX prompt.
