HI,
There are several things I'd like to do at boot time, includingstart
bootlogd and syslog. I've been told to set up an 'init script' etc.
Where do you do this? Is there a specific script that is always
accessed and if so which one?
I answered this in another thread not so long ago:
1. As far as bootlogd is concerned, do the following:
# apt-get install bootlogd
# vi /etc/default/bootlogd , and make sure the only line in there looks
like:
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
As for syslog this is automatically started up. If you find you're missing
symlinks to the scripts the you can do one of two things:
1. man update-rc.d
2. dpkg-reconfigure <package>
(You might also find the package 'rcconf' useful for such tasks).
