[plug] mandrake 9.4 startup

[filpee]

Ok just had a look
/etc/rc.local is a sym link to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and is read/execute to all
(but not write)

Is there a log file I can check to see if this file is being executed at
boot?

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
