Hello Al.
Thanks for the tip. I wonder though about my situation. I am trying to get
/sbin/slattach to run along with its related routes.. That is not a Daemon
but rather it is an interface like eth0, or lo etc..
So - with that in mind, maybe I am on the wrong track. Maybe I shouldn't be
making up a script like I list below. Maybe this should be something like a
ifcfg-sl0 ??
