best way is to make a script slap the script in /etc/init.d
put a link to it in /etc/rc?.d where ? = runlevel (runlevel 2 is defailt for debian so /etc/rc2.d ) make sure to chmod +x the script name the link according to how you want it to start as it reads the files in order. if you don't care when it loads then it doesnt matter what you name it. nate ----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- Linux System Administrator http://www.firetrail.com/ Firetrail Internet Services Limited http://www.aphroland.org/ Everett, WA 425-348-7336 http://www.linuxpowered.net/ Powered By: http://comedy.aphroland.org/ Debian 2.1 Linux 2.0.36 SMP http://yahoo.aphroland.org/ -----------------------------------------[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ]-- On Sun, 10 Oct 1999, Salman Ahmed wrote: > > Here is another simple question that I cannot figure out.
