Depends on which distor you use, in slackware you edit /etc/inittab and make the default runlevel 3 as in; id:3:initdefault: Its around line 24 of the file. Some other distros work the same, last time i commented on this it seemed some distos do it in other ways, i am sure the users of those distros will comment and help you further on your way. Your other question is a script file with executable permissions, an example would be. Create a file called my-first-script, #!/bin/sh /bin/echo "This is my first try at a script..." /bin/date /bin/echo "That is tdays date" close file, change permissions; chmod a+x my-first-script Now type ./my-first-script There is a man page for this sort of thing, man bash > Thanks, > Matthew Stapleton > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% > http://webpages.marshall.edu/~staple12 > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% -- Regards Richard [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.zeelandnet.nl/pa3gcu/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
