Use update-rc.d to add it to the run level > tree. This question comes up enough that a policy ought IMVAO be set for it. Viz: any rc script named local-foo is considered local and sacrosanct by the system, where "-foo" could have any arbitrary value, including null (for the single instance of a local script). But this way I could, say, run four local webservers as local-apache-mydom0, local-apache-mydom1, local-apache-mydom2, and local-apache-mydom3, without worrying about how they're treated by Debian. I'll bounce this to the devel (or other) list if someone thinks this is a worthwhile suggestion. Peace. -- Karsten M.
