 |
|
Im looking for a good online bash shell script resource so that I can try to figure out how to write some simple scripts.
Anyone know how to make a .sh script run only on a reboot/power on.
Thanks  |

You mean a rc-script? /etc/init.d has lots of examples. I don't quite know the equivalent of rc.local on Gentoo but an rc-script in /etc/init.d should do you fine.
As for Bash help, Google. |

/etc/conf.d/local.start for bootup and /etc/conf.d/local.stop for shutdown. Much easier than writing a full blown init script for simple tasks. |

You may want to investigate dyndns. It is fairly painless and has several update clients including a masked one in portage.

Daniel Robbins has written some bash guides (as well as awk, sed and some others). You can find them here.
