Hi there, I succesfully installed and configured a program (junkbuster) and I'd like it to start at boot time. According to the FAQ I need to 'add an entry to /etc/rc.d/rc.local or equivalent.' Since the former file doesn't exist I'll have to go with the latter. Which file is that? The other question is: how do I add an entry to the file to make the program start at boot time (in run level 2)?

all you questions will be answered if you read: /sbin/init.d/README this file describes in detail the suse boot concept. -- michael On Thu, Mar 02, Yatsen Ng wrote:

man init.d for info in the SuSE boot concept.

Thanks for your answers. There's one thing I need to know before I go ahead: I need to know what the (main) difference is between adding an entry in /etc/rc.d/boot.local and /sbin/init.d/boot.local The two files look exactly the same. Please forgive my stupidity! -- Yatsen Ng yatsen.ng@brunel.nl Den Haag, The Netherlands It said "Needs Windows 95 or better".

Well, they have to look the same because it's one file. /etc/rc.d is not a directory but a link to /sbin/init.d. If you cd to /etc/rc.d, you'll find yourself in /sbin/init.d: [sttr]/home/sttr> cd /etc/rc.d [sttr]/sbin/init.d> pwd -P /sbin/init.d Ciao, Stefan -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

You just choose the file which appeals the most to you at the moment. ;-) They look the same, because it is the same file. /etc/rc.d is a link to /sbin/init.d Regards Ole -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/

/etc/rc.d is a symlink to /sbin/init.d for compatibility, so it doesn't matter which file you edit - it is the same file. I wouldn't do this, though, if you only really want to run it in runlevels 2 and 3 (which would be the case for junkbuster).
