Create a file anywhere in your $HOME > - Make sure this file is executable, owned by root, etc. chmod, owned by you > - Make a symlink to this file from S00localstart in /etc/rc{2,3,4,5}.d > > - Here are the contents of /etc/init.d/localstart, which for some > yet-to-be-determined reason didn't work: #!/bin/bash # or any shell sleep 120 fetchmail -s > Like I mentioned, I'm quite able to debug the code above and eventually > to get it to work. But I'm hoping I can find a utility that might allow > me to do this in a more elegant way. just put in crontab like this @reboot your_script.sh > anywhere.log 2>&1 just one > because script is executed just once, and anywhere have to exist with form >> (don't know why) Hope it help Note don't help : work for me :-) David Dumortier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
