I've recently installed the Squid web proxy cache. To start the daemon, I have to su and type /usr/sbin/squid. Is there a simple way of doing this automagically whenever I start my machine?


First look at the files in /etc/init.d

Then look at the files in

/etc/init.d/boot.d
/etc/init.d/rcS.d  (Single User/Maintenance mode -- root filesystem only)
/etc/init.d/rc1.d  (Sinlge User with all filesystems mounted)
/etc/init.d/rc2.d  (Multi-user)
/etc/init.d/rc3.d  (Multiuser with network services)
/etc/init.d/rc4.d  (unused in most Distros including Suse)
/etc/init.d/rc5.d  (Multiuser, Networked, with GUI
/etc/init.d/rc6.d  (Reboot)

And observe the pattern

See also:   man init
