A resounding "Me Too" to this - though my problem is a bit different, since I want to run a (perl) script at startup on the system to serve as a mail filter for other computers (POPFile - damn, it's a nice proggy) and Perl seems to just simply hang when I throw it into rc.local (since the computer just won't boot at all past POPFile).
Is anyone else here using POPFile?
