Adding a program that starts up a minute after bootup
I'm using SuSE Enterprise Linux 11 SP1 on several servers and need to have a program start on all of these server about a minute after bootup, but before anyone logs in. Does anyone have any idea on how to make this work?

Thanks.

I would assume your runlevel for production is 3 or 5:
in this directory:
Code:
/etc/init.d/rcX.d

where X is either 3 or 5

You create a startup script in there. Name the file starting with S99*
Code:
S99[your file name goes here]

This will be the VERY last thing startup startup does, meaning the system is fully up when this thing starts.

How to correctly write the script:
13.4.*Init Scripts

Thanks for the info, after first creating and then altering the script i was able to make the program start at boot time.
