bootup script?

andymadigan · 08-04-2004, 04:43 PM

Is there a script that gets run at every bootup, if there are several, please list them all. I use sid + gdm + gnome, but I run XDMCP, so a script that starts up with gdm might get run several times. I want to add calls to start a vnc server, and that command shouldn't be run more than once.

I haven't used this myself but here is a guide:

http://www.desktop-linux.net/debian-rclocal.htm

The above is a guide for creating a script to be run on a Debian machine that is the equivalent of rc.local that you might have on Slackware, or other distribution.

You can put them in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh that is just about the last thing that runs during boot.
