Hi,

i am trying the single sign on for couple of weeks.

the problem is that every time the system boots up the redhat9.0 system becomes a little late then the windows 2000 domain controller.

so i have to manually run this command to get it in sunc with the domain controller.

as i am using samba 3.0.4 this is the command i use


net time set -S 10.10.1.125

this is the IP of the computer which is the domain controller.

so all i wan is that this command should run at the end of every boot up process.

can any one tell me how to make it a startup shell script and where to put the file?

you can put it in /etc/rc.local

OR

create a /etc/cron.daily/0ntpdate

/usr/sbin/ntpdate -u clock.redhat.com ... although this clock may not match your Win2K clocks.

i dont have /etc/rc.local in my system

i have

rc
rc0.d
rc1.d
rc2.d
rc3.d
rc4.d
rc5.d
rc6.d
rc.d
rc.local
rc.sysinit

rc.local is not a directory it says.

Yes, rc.local is a file

edit /etc/rc.local and add your command

net time ...

thanks it worked

now suppose there is some other script i wan to start up at a particular run level.

like suppose this very script.

how do i do that?

#cd /etc/rcn.d //where n is the init level of your choice

#cp <your script> S99scriptname
#chmod 755 S99scriptname

Hi,

ok those directories /etc/rcn.d contains soft links.

where are they pointing to. do i also jhave to make a soft link.?

and what does s99 stand for?

Snnscriptname or Knnscriptname

S - startup script
K - stop / kill script
nn - to prioritize your script - (make it run after or before other scripts)
scriptname - name of the script you want to run

I tried to place my vnc server in /etc/rc.local and nothing happened, the service did not start what can be the problem?? (I'm using SuSE 8.2 Pro)
