Why not just run the command in /etc/rc.local which is executed
during
boot, as root?
Perfect - thanks!
No problem. I should point out that the rc.local file varies by
distribution:
On Debian and Debian-based distributions, it's /etc/rc.local
On Gentoo, it's /etc/conf.d/local.start (or /etc/conf.d/local for
really recent versions of baselayout)
Not sure about other distributions, I imagine several use /etc/
rc.local though.
