just put it in /etc/rc.d/rc.local its simple and it works ;-) if you even so want to use an System V script you will have to create the dirs /etc/rc.d/init.d /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/ /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ copy the script to init.d and create the links in rc3 and rc5. i would recopmend you using the rc.local just invoke your script. cheers JC On Monday 15 March 2004 03:45, Greg Morgan wrote: > Wesley GDS wrote: > > Hi there > > > > I was just wondering if you could help me.
