Its probably the wrong way todo it but it works.
In RH versions, this S99local is a softlink to /etc/rc.d/rc.local. Its been heavily added to at this site as I set a few more env vars there, and also setibatch and boinc are now started there. As its a softlink, you can add it to any of the rc#.d dirs that need it. -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
