ok, but if I want it to run when I boot, how do i put it into init.d? I can't seem to find chkconfig. Also, (no one has really answered this) what about my rebooting question. When I run /sbin/reboot, it doesn't, apparently, properly logout and shut down the programs, because my settings weren't saved like they usually are when I formally logout and then hit reboot. What shell command can I use to reboot the computer that will logout properly so that my program's settings are saved. justin Jay Kline wrote: > If you want it to run at boot, then you need to make a script for init.d.
