Answering more generally, there are many reasons to want to run some commands when the systems is rebooted. In that direction, many of us prepare a script that is only run while the system reboots for the first time. For example, this is when we ask for root password to the user (before that, we have a password that they don't know), we only patch network files or install additional packages, etc. The script is simply put in /etc/init.d and a link in /etc/rc3.d. After execution, the script deletes itself. Maybe you could use that strategy. Anne -- Anne Possoz Service Informatique Central Ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, 1015 Lausanne (Switzerland)
