hi!
I would like to start a few programs at boot,but I couldn't manage.I wrote to /etc/rc.d/rc.local exp:/usr/bin/snort and /usr/sbin/psad
it doesn't work.I appreciate any help.thanks

I am not sure what you mean specificially when you say you wrote to /etc/rc.d/rc.local but that should do the trick. My rc.local starts up junkbuster for me, that is about the only thing that I start up automatically at boot time. It is pasted below for your reference. If you have already put your command in here, you may want to make sure that you typed the commands correctly.

#!/bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/rc.local: Local system initialization script.
#
# Put any local setup commands in here:

echo "Loading Internet JunkBuster Proxy..."
/ijb20/./junkbuster /ijb20/junkbstr.ini &

I want snort and psad start automatically

As root, type in:
echo /usr/bin/snort >> /ext/rc.d/rc.local
echo /usr/bin/psad >> /ext/rc.d/rc.local

Those programs will now start at boot.

hi!
by these commands as root in konsole writes excatly>/usr/sbin/psad and /usr/bin/snort
I wrote this manually in webmin to rc.local,but did not work

in konsole as root commanding like that success!
echo /usr/bin/snort >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local
echo /usr/sbin/psad >> /etc/rc.d/rc.local


strange,why it doesn't work by adding manually to rc.local?
/usr/sbin/psad
/usr/bin/snort


I get error from snort by writing no such a file no directory,but I get same error when I command in konsole as root snort "No such file or directory" this is another matter!


psad works nicely!

thank you very much Dravis
