- My solution is to put a script in the /etc/init.d directory. This
- script should be able to be invoked with an argument of "start" on
- system startup, and "stop" at shutdown time. Look around at some of
- the scripts already there for help. There is also a symbolic link
- required somewhere (sorry, not on the SGI and my memory is fuzzed)
- that tells the system where in the order of scripts your is to run.
-
- My problem with a turnkey system is that my system has an annoying
- tendency to come up with the "Do you want to automatically
- reconfigure the system?" prompt. NOTHING happens until this
- question is answered. How do you make it go away????
