Additional Information

Retain Customization Changes After Restart

All files in /netscaler/portal/ are overwritten upon a restart or power cycle. You must create a script that runs at startup to copy the modified files back to this location. The nsafter.sh or rc.netscaler shell scripts can be created or modified to accomplish this.
For example:

> shell
# mkdir /var/mods
# cp /netscaler/portal/templates/homepage.html /var/mods/homepage.html.mod
# echo cp /var/mods/homepage.html.mod /netscaler/portal/templates/homepage.html >> /nsconfig/rc.netscaler
