Startup script for debian

[DaMasta]

I recently installed debian. What is the startup script. Every other distro I've used, it was rc.local. Howver this file does not exist. At least, not my installation. Thanks for your help.

Have a look at /etc/init.d.

Here's what I do to make what's effectively an rc.local for debian

1. Checked /etc/inittab to see what runlevel you boot into.

2. Do these commands

touch /etc/init.d/rc.local
chmod 744 /etc/init.d/rc.local
ln -s ln /etc/rcX.d/S99local /etc/init.d/rc.local
(Replace X with your runlevel... example, /etc/rc2.d)

3. Edit /etc/init.d/rc.local to your heart's content. It'll be executed last during the bootup process.
