Linux startup script

[alexsb92]

Hey,

I wanted to create a script (maybe its the wrong word, so what i mean is the Linux version of the batch file in windows, where you were writing cmd commands and then running it and the commands would be all ran) that will include different BASH commands. For example i have modifying the $PATH variable, and running programs.

I followed this bit of a tutorial that i can't post a link to cause i don't have 15 posts. The bit that 0i followed was this:

now run chmod 755 first.sh to make the text file executable, and run ./first.sh.
Your screen should then look like this:

$ chmod 755 first.sh
$ ./first.sh
Hello World
$

What i was wondering is how can i make that script run, on startup.

I would be really glad if i can get this to work.

Thanks,
Alex

Put it in /etc/rc.local

I think hazel means, write your script and stick it somewhere -- than call it from /etc/init.d/rc.local or /etc/rc.local {whichever your system uses }

That script runs once, only at startup.
