Title: Run A Script At Startup(boot)
Post by: bam on July 26, 2005, 03:37:01 pm

where could I do this? Basically want to turn the swapfile on, and maybe a few "other" things. I was thinking qpe.sh, but not sure....

You can use rc.local, but you'll have to uncomment the call to rc.local in one of the other rc scripts (sorry can't remember which one ).

It's in /etc/rc.d/init.d

If you want to start a swap file at boot then just put it in your /etc/fstab and the kernel will take care of loading it at boot time.

what would be the line of script to add to fstab?
just /drive/swapfile? or
swapon /drive/swapfile ?

something like

Code: [Select]

/mnt/card/swapfile      none        swap        swap      0 0
Warning AIRCODE - I haven't tried this
