Don't know what it's called in red hat, but in my dist there's a file "/etc/conf.d/local.start" where you'd enter the command, and it'd be executed right before the login prompt is shown.
Originally posted by Thymox If there's an entry under /etc/rc.d/init.d then you can symlink to it under one of the other /etc/rc.d/rcX.d where X represents your runlevel.
For example, ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S09smb would run the samba init script upon starting runlevel 3.
That OK?
This is what I was looking for. I am still learning about symbolic links and how to use them, so this would be a great thing to try, also, I still need to understand run levels, so I will consult my Linux Handbood for that. Thanks for the help!
