The script you want is: /etc/rc.d/rc.local Looking at it: # cat /etc/rc.d/rc.local #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local > Thanks in advance.
