Hp UX

I am using HP -UX .

Under /etc/ I have 'rc.config.d' folder which shows many files/scripts.

Do I have to create a script under this folder 'rc.config.d'?
Can I give any name to the script like 'scleanfs'.

scleanfs
------------------
#!/usr/bin/sh
rm /complete_dirpath/f*
------------------

Will this work?

------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it that whenever a unix server restarts, all the scripts present
in a particular folder under /etc/ get executed???
( And in case of HP-UX this folder is rc.config.d ??? )
------------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks!

NAME
sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port] sieveshell --help DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress. The following commands are recognized: list list scripts on server. put <filename> upload script to server. get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout delete <name> delete script. activate <name> activate script. deactivate deactivate all scripts. OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials. -a authname, --authname=authname The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user). -r realm, --realm=realm The realm to attempt authentication in. -e script, --exec=script Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
