run on startup question

2001-02-05 Thread Mansur, Warren
Hi, I run Debian Linux and I can't figure out how to cause a script to be run at startup. I placed the script in /etc/init.d/, and then made a symbolic link to it in /etc/rc4.d (it is executable as well). I thought this would cause it to be run on startup but it doesn't run. Anyone know the pr

I think this is what Jerry was referring to, but using lilo -L instead of just lilo fixed the problem for me. My install definitely exceeded to 1024 limit, and lilo wouldn't add it until I used lilo -L. Once I used the -L flag it worked perfectly. Anyone want to take a stab at why the -L flag i
