about the FAQ and /etc/init.d

[John Spence <jspence@lynx.net.au>]

While trying to decide on the most logical place to start my
IP-Masquerading rules, I checked the faq for wisdom.

Placing a script in /etc/init.d and then working out what numeric argument
to pass to update-rc.d seemed to be the best bet.

Answer 11.3 states that scripts in "/etc/init.d all take an argument which
can be either 'start', 'stop', or 'reload'"    Implementing my IP-Masq
rules don't really require a start, stop or reload argument so would I be
better off starting them in some other way/location ?

Would the IP-Masq rules be best started from /etc/ppp/ip-up ?
