 Posted: Fri Sep 06, 2002 8:50 pm Post subject: Custom commands and scripts at boot |
 |
|
I have a few custon commads and scripts I want to start when the system start up. This would be like rhe rc.local file. I have made a script to assign only one of my two NICs to have dhcpd listen on it, but when I add it with rc-update add dhcp-d default it says ok, but doesn't start at bootup.
Any ideas? |

make sure it is executable
or do that and put it at the end of net.ethx script (the net.ethx that loads last) or put an "include" to the file, again at the end of the start part of the net.ethx script
May not be the fanciest way to do it, but it'll work until someone posts something better, I guess. |

| How about editting the /etc/conf.d/local.start file? AFAIK it is the same as the rc.local file. |

|
|
| Does anyone know how to do supress the screen output from programs that I run from local.start? Can I just redirect the output to null? As in, setiathome > null? |

To /dev/null should work. Add a 2>/dev/null if stderr is annoying you also.
