How to start oracle and others progs at boot up

[Supi]

I would like to have certains programs to run in the background at boot up, like : dbstart,tnslsnr,apachectl,etc... and then having the boot login prompt. I am running Suse Linux 7.1

I have tried with rc.config but the machine stopped and I had to boot with a diskette and mount the drive and erase the commands in the scripts to have it back to normal. Any help? Wich files should I modify and what is the syntax to use in the scripts?
Thanks in advance for any help on the matter

Hi,



The suse /etc/init.d/boot script includes the following code:



#

# start user defined bootup script.

#

if test -f /etc/init.d/boot.local ; then

echo "Running /etc/init.d/boot.local"

/bin/sh /etc/init.d/boot.local

rc_status -v1 -r

fi





So that's where you'd put your local stuff, i.e /etc/init.d/boot.local .



Hope this helps

P.S. looks like Suse 7.3 is out....
