you could add the following lines to your .bash_profile (runs at login) or .bashrc (everytime you open a shell)

Code:

II_SYSTEM=/RDBMS/ingres/ingres2006

Code:

export $II_SYSTEM

Or do you need it to run at bootup?

depends what distro as some put them in different places.

try

Code:

/etc/init.d/rc.d

if not then try other such paths like

Code:

/etc/rc.d/

(if i was on my FC box right i'd be able to give you better ones to try, sorry, they are ones i pulled up in a search)

Anyway, you will find files named S or K then a number, S is start, K is kill, the lower the number the higher it's priority i believe. Take a look at some examples in there, but you should be able to make a new file and add the lines i supplied.

Don't forget to give it executable permissions:

Code:

chmod +x <file>

to test it works:

Code:

echo $II_SYSTEM

I think there is a error here: the correct is: (note the absence of the dollar sign)

Code:

export II_SYSTEM

or better

Code:

export II_SYSTEM=/RDBMS/ingres/ingres2006
