Shell scripts

[Foekie_t]

Hi,

I wanted to be able to create a shell script, which can be used to start up some programs on the linux server that I have. I have several radios, eggdrops en irc servers.. that I want to be able to start with 1 command in the ssh ( I assume I need a shell file for this ), all programs should start, after started up, with a delay of 10 seconds of eachother to not push the server to much ( or does this not effect the server at all ? Is this possible ? All the programs are ofcourse in different directories..

Also, my forum has a vbulletin forum, with a big mysql that needs to be backed up every week, which I want to be able to save every week into a directory, with the date inside the file name, so the filename is changed every week. Can anybody help me with this ? This file should go to the init.d I assume and also something with .sh or so ? But not for sure.



Thanks.
