Running Script on Startup

jCash · 05-20-2007, 07:10 PM

Linux question regarding how to start several scripts, in order as first one completes ftp download to remote machine and then second one start. I want to have these script run as soon as the computer turns on.
Some of these scripts have to run under root.

That'll depend on your distro. In that context: it's always a
good idea to fill in your profile.

In slack you can use /etc/rc.d/rc.local for this kind of thing.

Cheers,

I am running Fedora Core 6.

in fedora its /etc/rc.local

every version of linux that uses system V init has an rc.local file. ( which is almost every distro) it is just a matter of where they place it.
