And note that it will be run any time the system enters runlevel 2, not just at boottime. Adding the symlink from /etc/rcS.d is the best solution. > I don't know the policy if there is any on this topic(?), but you can always > have an @reboot entry in root's crontabs. See the Debian Policy Manual, section 3.3. Most packages use scripts named the same as their Debian package name, so you should avoid these when creating your own scripts. One method is to add the prefix "local_" to the name of your script.
