To start airControl, you may add something like this to /etc/rc.local: if [ -x ${PREFIX}/bin/startup.sh ]; then echo ' aircontrol'; sudo -u _aircontrol \ env JAVA_HOME=${LOCALBASE}/jdk-1.7.0 \ ${PREFIX}/bin/startup.sh fi Adjust JAVA_HOME as necessary for your choice of JDK 1.6 or 1.7. If you wish to change from the default basic settings, adapt ${PREFIX}/conf/catalina.properties as needed (${PREFIX}/README has more information). Otherwise you may access the user interface at http://hostname:9080/ or https://hostname:8443/ using username ubnt, password ubnt.
