Startup Script

I've written a script called rc.local that is in the /etc folder. I would like this script to run upon startup after the CDE loads.

Script is owned by root, and belongs to system with rwxrwx--- permissions

Anyone can tell me what to do next?

You would probably want to define it in your /etc/inittab file to be run once at startup. See inittab for other examples.

Ok, so I looked at the inittab and inserted this after the dt loads

mxmail:2nce:/etc/rc.local

The script runs but now when I do a ps -eaf | grep for that process, it shows up twice. There are two instances of it.

Any idea?

i suspect script syntax. does it run two instances on normal execution?
