You should create a startup script in /etc/init.d, either named after your daemon or named after the service it provides. In either case, it might be wise to prefix or suffix "local" to help prevent any Debian packages from overwriting it. /etc/init.d/skeleton can serve as a good template. You'd then use the update-rc.d command it insert symlinks in the proper runlevels. Since you seem to want it running in any runlevel, "update-rc.d <init.d_filename> defaults" should do it (where <init.d_filename> is the filename from the paragraph above). See the manpage for more info. - -- finger for PGP public key. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: noconv iQCVAwUBOAFZrb7M/9WKZLW5AQGmgAQAltQ9fDjHpubOlhLwxLx7hiO7qM/hDOFg iLSe5cgotYaBO8ETK07Ffhi3lQFKYdZelXOfqeJpuyA3ZihiLn9aNtaM3DBL++W4 TgAtFIFTYJUMzg3HJipg2Rhkwcv+qPPW/jpvtkb+e8Vxe/5OZOrISyJ+GHHrXKTL 2DcO/T4K1+s= =hDth -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
