Start up script...

I use tcsh and I have a .tcshrc file that I keep my settings in but I have a lot of processes running on a cluster and need to know everytime it reboots (which should be very infrequent) so is there file I can put in my home directory that will be executed everytime the server is rebooted? Or how could I go about doing that?

hiya,

add your processes to /etc/rc.d/rc.local file, which is linked to /etc/rc3.d/S99.local

Hope this helps

I don't have root access.

I have been thinking a bit since my post and was thinking I could setup a cron job to check something to notify me if something has changed since last reboot. Like is there a file that states when the last reboot was? I know uptime must subtract against something, but is that regular user accessible?

when your jobs start, do they log anything in /var/logs?

or setup a cron job to check uptime on the server every 10-15 minutes
if the reply is less than your interval, then restart the processes?
