Re: Starup script - how can I make it start later? (Firestarter)
I don't know anything about /etc/rc.x, but the "Debian way" is to put
scripts is /etc/init.d from which links should be created with
update-rc.d. This will put a symlink in /etc/rc2.d which will be
executed when runlevel 2 is entered, which is after the boot process
and probably a better place. Alternatively you can create your own
symlink in /etc/rcS.d (which runs during boot before entering runlevel
2_ with a higher sequence code then the other links (i.e. place
firewall.sh in /etc/init.d and execute:
ln -s /etc/init.d/firewall.sh /etc/rcS.d/S99firewall.sh
