check /etc/inittab file
- Just create a script file in /etc called rc.myscript and put your startup command in the file
- edit your inttab and this line:
Code:
myscript:2:once:/etc/rc.myscript > /dev/null 2>&1

ahem, ... yes and no. While this is certainly true and will certainly work one should - out of habit - use the mechanisms the OS offers to do so. In this case this means to use the command mkitab.

Be sure to read the man page of mkitab before you do that.

I hope this helps.

I still believe that applications should be started from /etc/rc.d/rc2.d via link - the startscript itself should be in /etc/rc.d/init.d) while service-like applications like cluster software, security software and alikes should be started from inittab.

It is a pain when the system doesn't boot because some application script started from inittab doesnt work or is started at the wrong time of the system boot sequence - or even worse because the entry in inittab is wrong / not working at all - and I myself prefer to rename scripts in init.d when I do not want them to start for any reason rather than to over and over modify inittab - but this might be just personal taste.
