What is the name and path for the local system init script on your distribution?
With the Red Hat variants, it's /etc/rc.d/rc.local
With Gentoo, it's /etc/conf.d/local.startup
We're trying to determine where we should be placing some startup logic and it seems that no matter where we go, there's alway some distro that uses a NEW place for local daemon startup.
So, I my request to you, the myriad distro users, is - what is the name of your distro's local startup script?
Not looking for the runlevel scripts, just the distro's version of rc.local
Thanks, but I know how the SysV init scripts are assembled (even though THOSE also differ from distro to distro). I'm looking to document the various distro's versions of the rc.local script.
rc.local on Debian consists of a bunch of commented out words saying how Debian doesn't use rc.local and a single line that says exit 0.
... which is a perfect example of why I'm asking. Debian doesn't use rc.local, but it does use something else. It's that "something else" that I'm trying to document.

Try looking at the link I posted. I'm not an expert in the boot scripts, so hopefully it answers your question...
