Which command initializes the script to run Splunk Enterprise at system startup?

splunk enable boot-start -user
splunk start boot -user
splunk start system
splunk run at startup

The correct answer is: splunk enable boot-start -user

The command that initializes the script to run Splunk Enterprise at system startup is "splunk enable boot-start -user." This command configures Splunk to automatically start whenever the system boots up, ensuring that the Splunk services are available without requiring manual intervention. By including the "-user" flag, it specifies the user account under which Splunk will run. This is important for permissions, as it determines the access Splunk has to files and processes on the system. The other commands do not accomplish the same task. For instance, "splunk start boot -user" is not a recognized command in the context of setting up boot-time startup for Splunk, and "splunk start system" does not specifically address initializing Splunk to start on system boot. "splunk run at startup" also does not exist as a command for configuring system startup behaviors. Thus, the selected command is the appropriate and necessary instruction for ensuring Splunk Enterprise runs automatically upon system startup.
