This script works fine if the OS is up and running, but if I reboot
the machine I get an error saying that 'source not found.'

Here's my script:

#!/bin/csh
source /usr/appenv/.main_source
/usr/bin/su cindly -c
"/ccm/Beta/is/procedures/bloomberg/Start_Blg_Servers.pl"

I understand that it can't find the 'source' command, but don't know
how to fix it. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Solaris runs scripts in the rc?.d directories through
/sbin/sh.

The Solaris FAQ covers this (somewhat incidentally):

Which is a csh builtin

Startup scripts (assuming you mean a startup script in /etc/init.d and
/etc/rc?.d) should be Bourne shell scripts. The script that runs them
(/etc/rc3 for instance) passes the script to /sbin/sh unless the script
name ends with .sh (in which case it "dots" it - the Bourne/Korn version
of sourcing it) without passing it to /bin/sh).

for f in /etc/rc3.d/S*; do
if [ -s $f ]; then
case $f in
*.sh) . $f ;;
*) /sbin/sh $f start ;;
esac
fi
done
fi



If you really, really need a csh startup script (and I'm pretty much at
a loss to imagine why you would), write a Bourne shell script that runs
it (a wrapper) and put the Bourne shell script in /etc/rcwhatever.d

That's right. You need to do something other than make the
first line '#!/bin/csh' if you want your script run by csh
instead of sh.

Well this might do it.
1. cp .main_source to .main_source.sh
2. edit .main_source.sh changing lines like
setenv FOO BAR
to two lines like (no spaces on either side of the ='s)
FOO=BAR
export FOO
3. Change your script to
# note the beginning dot on the next line, the dot is like source
.. /usr/appenv/.main_source.sh
/usr/bin/su cindly -c "/ccm/Beta/is/procedures/bloomberg/Start_Blg_Servers.pl"

Correct - it's a csh script. Either (preferably, IMHO) re-write it as a
Bourne shell script, or, as I suggested, create a Bourne shell script
which runs your csh script and place that Bourne shell script in
/etc/rcwhatever.d

Can I suggest you find out quite a lot more about shell programming and
system administration before you do *anything* else while logged in as root?
