Exclamation Help with Debian 2.2r6 [II]


Another think I want to ask you guys is, which is the file in which I put the commands I want Debian to execute when it boots up? (Ex. th 'rc.local' file in RedHat). Thanks again.

Is there a rc.lcoal in /etc/init.d?
Both RH and Debian use System V init scripts

OK here what you want to do.
man rc.boot

According the the man page,


RC.BOOT(5) Debian GNU/Linux Manual RC.BOOT(5)

NAME
/etc/rc.boot - directory for local or per-package boot scripts.

DESCRIPTION
The /etc/rc.boot directory is obsolete. It has been superseded by the /etc/rcS.d direc_
tory. At boot time, first the /etc/rcS.d directory is scanned and then, for backwards
compatibility, the /etc/rc.boot directory.

The directory /etc/rc.boot is scanned by the program run-parts(8). The scripts found
that have valid filenames for the run-parts program will be run in lexical sort order
of the filenames.

SEE ALSO
run-parts(8), init(1).
