ok this seems strange but I must ask.

I created a script to temporarily fix my mknod issue for ttyUSB1 in fedora 4 for syncing my palm.

however I can't get the script to launch automatically why?

script is setting on the desktop which is logged in as a user script called ./mknod

the first line of the script is #/bin/shell

I can run the script from the root user by going to /home/jph/Desktop then typing in ./mknod this works so I know the script is right.
But what I need is the script to execute on boot
Can someone tell me what I am missing.

thanks again

Why not invoke your script from within the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file? This file is automatically executed each time the system comes up and is specially made for initialization type things.

Thanks I will try that
