Sorry, I shouldn't try to answer questions w/o my first cup of coffee. On SUSE most ppl seem to create a script in /etc/init.d/ then put a symlink pointing to it in the runlevel rc you're using. A quick who -r should tell you which runlevel you use (typ runlevel 5) So in /etc/init.d/ create a file called bridge #!/bin/sh brctrl addbr bla... brctrl addif bla... whatever else... make it executable: chmod 700 /etc/init.d/bridge put a symlink in /etc/init.d/rc5.d: ln -s /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S99bridge /etc/init.d/bridge That should be it. Check the YaST runlevel editor to be sure. -----Original Message----- From: bridge-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bridge-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stephen Hemminger Sent: Friday, May 06, 2005 3:00 PM To: Scott Ellerbrock Cc: bridge@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [Bridge] How to keep bridge up after reboot On Thu, 5 May 2005 16:06:59 -0600 Scott Ellerbrock <sellerbrock@xxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I am sorry for the newbie question.

You might look in the SUSE doc's.
