Although its use has been deprecated, you can continue to use /etc/rc.boot by creating the directory then creating any number of executable script inside it. As of Debian 3.1, the contents of /etc/rc.boot are still executed by /etc/init.d/rcS during startup. Alternatively, you can create a script in /etc/init.d, and then create rc?.d links to it using update-rc.d(8). --> Jijo -- Federico Sevilla III : jijo.free.net.ph : When we speak of free software GNU/Linux Specialist : GnuPG 0x93B746BE : we refer to freedom, not price. _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List [email protected] (#PLUG @ irc.free.net.ph) Read the Guidelines: http://linux.org.ph/lists Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
