But how about a place to start local programs (servers, etc.)? I am currently using a script called "local" in /etc/init.d which starts/stops/restarts my locally installed daemons, which I added to /etc/rc?.d with "update-rc.d local defaults", but I'm not sure if this is the correct approach. The script recognizes start/stop/restart parameters, so it's working OK. But is there any solution that is more correct to implement? Regards, sena... -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://decoy.ath.cx/~sena/
