help with simple startup script - missing LSB fields

i wrote a simple script to execute a command on startup:

Code:

#! /bin/bash

# setterm

setterm -powerdown 0 -blank 0

i named the file 'setterm.sh' and used 'chmod 700' to make it executable and, as root, moved it to /etc/init.d. next, i ran the command 'update-rc.d -f setterm.sh start 99 2 3 4 5' and got an error message telling me the script was missing LSB fields. i did some research and understand what the fields are, but i don't understand how to use them for this script. can someone help me with this?

Just put your code in rc.local, that's what it's for.

i figured out why it wasn't working. i had to use

Code:

update-rc.d -f rc.local start 99 2 3 4 5 .

before the script would run after putting it in rc.local. thanks!

You're welcome.

Glad to be of help.
