Run a command at boot

Ace2005 · 07-24-2005, 03:46 AM

My Modem will not work at boot up so i modified the install script so that it will just load the module and synchronize the modem.

I need to run /home/ace/System/eagleconfig2 on startup (in the text mode part)

Please Help

Thanks

In Knoppix you can do the following:
cp /home/ace/System/eagleconfig2 /etc/init.d
chmod +x /etc/init.d/eagleconfig2
Then run rcconf and select eagleconfig2
You are done. It should work at reboot.

Add command to script called startup in /etc/init.d and run command update-rc.d. See examples @ http://www.cyberciti.biz/nixcraft/vi...-boots-up.html and http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-customizing.en.html

Thanks for the help

i did get it to run on startup but it produced a lot of weeors. However i did find that using an older version of Eagle-USB got it to work fine, the newer version didn't run on startup as it should have done.
