running my own script during startup
Hi, I am using scientific linux with is a red hat cloning.
I have written a script and I want it to be run during startup before the user log in.
How do I do that?
I know that there is some connection to the run level and the directory /etc/rc.d.
But I don't know how exactly to do it ?
So if someone can explain to me the issue with a little more details.
Lets assume that I have already a script and that it has execution permission, who do I make it run at startup before the user do login?

safe_asterisk
SAFE_ASTERISK(8) Linux Programmer's Manual SAFE_ASTERISK(8)
NAME
safe_asterisk -- A wrapper to run the asterisk executable in a loop
SYNOPSIS
safe_asterisk [ asterisk_params ]
DESCRIPTION
safe_asterisk is a script that runs asterisk in a loop, which can be useful if you fear asterisk may crash.
The script does not run in the background like a standard service. Rather, it runs in its own linux virtual console (9, by default). It
also uses the option '-c' of asterisk(8) to avoid detaching asterisk from that terminal.
safe_asterisk also runs asterisk with unlimited core file size, and thus asterisk will dump core in case of a crash.
To get a "picture" of console 9, from another terminal (e.g: from a remote shell session) you can use:
screendump 9
The init script of the Debian package should be able to run safe_asterisk as the asterisk service, if so configured. See coments in
/etc/default/asterisk
FILES
/tmp
safe_asterisk runs in that directory, rather than in / as usual.
/tmp/core
If core files were generated there, they may be
/etc/asterisk/startup.d
Files in this directory will be 'source'd by the safe_asterisk script before it starts Asterisk proper, allowing them to set addi-
tional environment variables or run any other steps that are needed for your system.
BUGS
While showing the output on a console is useful, using screen(1) as the terminal may be better.
The script does not read configuration from standard location under /etc
It uses fixed locations under /tmp , and thus may be exposed to a symlink attacks.
