Autostarting a file on startup?

reddog64 · 04-19-2004, 04:25 AM

I want to start "vncserver" on startup/reboot/crash-reboot on my linux redhat box...
also i'd like to make it so this line starts as well
"./hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 18 +map de_dust -pingbooster 1"

where would i put these commands?

like a windows "startup" folder i guess??? only for RedHat 9

take a look at:

/etc/rc.d/rc.local

Ok so lets say i have this directory...

(as appears in the browser window)

/usr/steam/hlds_1

i want to execute the command "hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 18 +map de_dust +ip 2.2.2.2 -pingboost 1 &"

how will i put it in there?
do i use "exec" ?

do i need all the " / " before "usr"
this is what i put in there...

exec /usr/steam/hlds_1/hlds_run -game cstrike +maxplayers 18 +map de_dust +ip 2.2.2.2 -pingboost 1 -autoupdate &

also to start vncserver...

exec vncserver ???
