| 265109 | 2004-08-25 05:27:00 | Helloooo Err, is there a file that linux executes upon startup? My crappy 486 has a NIC that needs to be flipped specifically to 10BaseT every time, but it doesn't happen automatically. I need to issue the ifconfig eth0 inet up command to get it working, so was wondering if I could just tell it to execute this when starting up. (Similar to autoexec.bat in Windows) Cheers. |

| 265110 | 2004-08-25 05:32:00 | Put any command you need into rc.local in /etc/rc.d | Graham L (2) | ||

| 265112 | 2004-08-25 05:38:00 | Oh, my mistake - I am running Debian 3.0. I can't find a single rc.d folder, they are all rc0.d, rc1.d, rc2.d, rc3.d etc. None of them contain rc.local .... :S |

Have a read of the this (www.debian.org) Debian FAQ on bootscripts. Just for interest, if you look in your rc0.d, rc3.d etc folders you will see the services/processes that are currently set to start or kill at each runlevel - the number after the rc denotes the runlevel, and the capital S (start) means this item will run and a capital K (kill) means this item will not run for that particular runlevel. |

| 265115 | 2004-08-25 06:25:00 | Try in /etc/init.d/ ? rc.local isn't a directory --- it's a file. locate rc.local might find it. That's pretty well a standard way to put in "local" requirements withouit risking messing with the carefully buil system rc.xx files. | Graham L (2) | ||
| 265116 | 2004-08-25 11:04:00 | Oh right - yeah I knew it was a file, sorry if it didn't sound like it :D Thanks very much for that. |

| 265117 | 2004-08-25 12:13:00 | Throw it in to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh Down the bottom after everything else is best :-) Chill. |

| 265118 | 2004-08-27 05:03:00 | rc.local seems to be the standard mechanism. Debian have "improved the standard". :_| You can www.linuxgazette.com/node/view/818] (http:..[url) make your own[/url]. "debian rc.local" to Google finds this and other suggections. |
