Fedora Start-up Scripts

   1  
   2  have a fedora core box which needs to run different scripts on startup to connect to other boxes on the network.

   4  After a bit of fiddling around, I found what appears to be the best solution for me, using ntsysv and init.d. Here's how it's done;
   5  
   6  1.) make a new file in the /etc/init.d/ directory
   7  2.) add your script to this file with the following lines at the top;
   8  #!/bin/bash
   9  # chkconfig: 345 85 15
  10  # description: of your file
  11  
  12  3.) enter this in the shell;
  13  chkconfig --add startup_filename
  14  
  15  4.) type ntsysv - your startup script should now be in the list, checked and ready for action!
