Create a script in /etc/init.d and make a symbolic link to it in the rc runlevel directory that corresponds to your runlevel (or whatever runlevel you want the script to run).
For example, the /etc/init.d/foo.sh may be: #!/bin/bash cd /foo /foo/make_something.sh If you want this script to run in runlevel 2, then you can: ln -s /etc/init.d/foo.sh /etc/rc2.d/S99foo In the other hand, at any moment you can now the runlevel in what you are just typing: who -r Have a look at /etc/init.d scripts, they are self explanatory. Also, have a look at "man init" Regards On Monday 20 August 2007 21:00, ArcticFox wrote: > Here's the situation; I have a program that needs to run at system > startup, but there are a few issues with that.
