-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi Dan, Nope, no rc.local. Here is what I did: Go into /etc/init.d and create a script containing whatever you want to do in an rc.local. I called mine "mystartups" but I suppose you could even call it "rc.local" if you want. Remember that you do not yet have a reasonable path established when this script will execute.Give it execute permissions. Next, also as root, run update-rc.d to add this script to your normal bootup scripts. You can specify which runlevels it should start in or stop in, or just use the Debian defaults, which will be okay. But you have to give it a priority, 99 will make it the last thing to execute on startup. You can check the update-rc.d man page for details, but as near as I can recall without checking, it might look like this: update-rc.d mystartups defaults 99 You now have a bunch of other scripts in your varius runlevel directories of the form K99mystartups and S99mystartups which will kill or start the mystartups script as appropriate. Actually it doesn't make sense to kill such a script, it will just run it again anyway, unless within your script you check to see what parameter it was run with.
