That's perfectly allright. That is indeed the way to add something that needs to be run on boot only (no daemons, just one-time initialization). The only nitpick I have is that you could/should have used: update-rc.d wmnetstartup start 60 S . That makes the link automatically for you. But esp. in the case of rcS.d, where there is only one link anyway it doesn't really matter. Mike. -- "Did I ever tell you about the illusion of free will?" -- Sheriff Lucas Buck, ultimate BOFH.
