[NMLUG] Debian Startup Script

[timothyemerick at yahoo.com (Tim Emerick)]

Thanks Sam.  Just what I needed.
 
My laziness is twofold.
 
1. I really love webmin which makes me a lazy admin.
2. I'm too lazy to install webmin on my debian machine.  I've had problems installing it on debian with apt-get and am too lazy to try again.

You put the script in /etc/init.d an then need a specially named symlink
in the right /etc/rc* directory.
There's a tool called updaterc that can set this up; but the syntax is a
bear so I just make symlinks by hand.

# ln -s /etc/init.d/boinc /etc/rcS.d/S20boinc

where 20 is greater
than /etc/rcS.d/S
and less than /etc/rcS.d/S
