1. Where is the appropriate place to put user startup scripts to start user application during system boot ? Seems "/etc/rc.d/rc?.d/Sxxxx" no longer an endorsed way with SuSE 7.1 anymore, doesn't it ?
One possibility is /etc/init.d/boot.local, which is intended for that purpose. But there's a design flaw in the startup stuff: boot.local runs before all the other scripts in /etc/init.d, so it can't depend on what any of them do. You might want to insert a call somewhere to a script afterboot.local that would run after everything else. I haven't looked at just where the call should go, though. (Hint to SuSE: perhaps you should implement something like bootafter.local.)
have a look to /etc/init.d/README which is about SuSE boot concept you can use the /etc/init.d/skeleton file as an example also man insserv could give you some hints HTH -- Togan Muftuoglu
