Here is the way I would do it: cp /etc/init.d/boot.local /etc/init.d/boot.end ln -s /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S99boot.end /etc/init.d/boot.end pico /etc/init.d/boot.end Now change the contents of boot.end. Also, I am assuming that you are booting into runlevel 5 (graphical mode). You may have to switch that ln -s statement as I am not using Linux right now. Hope this helps! NeoFax

That's not correct on a suse system, because that link could be removed by a configuration script one day. Read "man init.d" for instructions and use "/etc/init.d/skeleton" as a starting point for your script. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson

Not could, it *will* be removed the next time insserv is called, i.e. when enabling or disabling services. Philipp -- Philipp Thomas work: pthomas@suse.de SuSE Linux AG private: philipp.thomas@t-link.de

If all the way up you mean after KDE has started then put it in a .desktop file (KDE shortcut file) in your ~./kde/Autostart. I am not sure what the Gnome equivalent is. If you mean at a command prompt then you have got me stumped because in the SuSE boot scheme boot.local is supposed to be the last script ran. pben On Monday 30 June 2003 09:27 pm, N1UAN Bob wrote:
