Can anyone verify that I am doing this right. I need to add a short bash script of my own, so that the script loads every time the machine boots. * put myscript in /etc/init.d/ chmod 755 myscript update-rc.d myscript defaults 19 * This in fact does work. * My question is: Is this proper way to add my script to startup? Will this gracefully shutdown any apps my script calls if I do a cntrl-alt-del at the keyboard? TIA, -Rick
