script to run at boot
Other Linuxes have a p;ace to put a file that is to be run after the usual bootup, where I can put extra commands that are also to be run at every boot.

Is there such a place in Debian? 1)make a file /etc/init.d/rc.local there may be a different suggested name for the file at this point, but rc.local is used by other linuxes last time I checked 2)give it the commands you want 3)chown root /etc/init.d/rc.local #do these only if perms are not correct 4)chgrp root /etc/init.d/rc.local 4)chmod 755 /etc/init.d/rc.local 5)update-rc.d rc.local start 99 2 . yes a period at the end I think this will put it in /etc/rc2.d as S99rc.local but you may need to read the update-rc.d man page as I am not an expert on it.

Is there such a place in Debian? Put the file in /etc/init.d (copy /etc/init.d/skeleton if you need to; it should have a somewhat similar structure to that file). Then make links from there to /etc/rcS.d or /etc/rc[2345].d, naming the file appropriately for where you want your script to run. See the documentation in /usr/share/doc/sysvinit for more details. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ Theoretical politics is interesting.
