There are no hard and fast rules for init scripts, and depending upon your system/ distro there would be variations. As a rule, all distros (except debian) has a file called rc.local which is the last thing to be loaded at boot ... it is safest to put your own stuff there. To know why it is not being picked up from /etc/init.d/rc3.d please step through the init process for your distro. Normally the file /etc/ inittab will have annotation as to where the process starts off, and follow the links from there. > > I have done the same thing for sshd script, which works perfectly fine. > If this be true, that sshd can run from rc3.d, but not the other script please re-check your soft-link. Also check up /var/log/messages, in case of any hints there ...
