Hi Lee, I don't think anyone mentioned that SUSE supplies the file /etc/init.d/skeleton as a starter for creating your own startup/shutdown files. Also, see "man init.d" for their documentation on the process. You use the insserv or chkconfig command to add or remove the links to the startup script from the runlevel directories.

Just for the record, I have written them for a couple of products (probably poorly as I'm still fairly new to bash). And I've changed them over and over as IBM changes names or directory structures etc.. And I've helped customers with it. And I've helped them try to complain to IBM (to no apparent avail). And most customers want to just stick it somewhere (like inittab) to be done with it. I'm hoping a Jim Elliott or Chuck Morse or even one of the IBM Linux or VM people might take note and add some push from their side(s).. After all, even MVS products come with a sample startup proc... Sometimes the pressure has to come from several directions at once... And I'm glad to hear: - I didn't just miss it - Others have the same issue - I correctly understood the "right" (aka: ideal) way, and the quick way. So thanks to all, Lee
