    inserting scripts during startup

    hi all
    if i want a particular script to be started at the boot time , what i should do , where to copy that script, and what are the procedures.

    If you put the script in /etc/rc5.d, you need to follow the rc naming scheme. So it should be named-

    S##scriptname

    S tells rc that the script should be started, the ## will tell it when (relative to other services) to run the script. 99 would be the last thing to run, 01 would be the first. You probably want it after 70 if it requires other networking services to already be running. Sticking it as last or nearly last is usually safest.
