That looks like it should attempt to run that command in runlevels 3 and 5, but on Debian the default runlevel is usually 2. Maybe this is the problem? I'm also unclear why you aren't doing this the more "normal" way: -- Create /etc/init.d/adsl (copied from the skeleton file there); perhaps your /usr/sbin/adsl is what this script should be. -- Create symlinks in /etc/rc3.d and /etc/rc5.d (and possibly elsewhere, if you want this for all runlevels) that point to ../init.d/adsl (e.g. 'ln -s ../init.d/adsl S90adsl'). This also makes it far easier to adjust things; I find it much less painful to run (for a more conrete example) '/etc/init.d/gdm restart' when my display manager breaks on Debian, compared to changing runlevels twice to kick it on Red Hat. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
