[plug] mandrake 9.4 startup

[John Usher (Maptek)]

rc.local is typically under /etc/rc.d not /etc. I'd be surprised if mandrake is any different.
 
It might also be worth making sure /etc/rc.d/rc.local is executable? Not that I have ever encountered this problem. 
 
Good luck.

	I have setup a simple firewall script on my linux box which I call from boot using the file /etc/rc.local

	Basically I have just tacked on to the end of this file with a line similar to /etc/firewall_script

	But this script never seems to get run and I have to manually execute via ssh

	Is there a way I can query my box to see if the rc.local file is being run?

	I have been led to believe that this is a good place to execute startup batch scripts from but maybe there is another file?

	 

	Thanks guys

	Phil
