i create my script inside /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/filename
i named my filename=S99zz

this script that will continues running...
i believed its not ok to enter ctrl+c...
how is it?
do i have to enter some lines at rc6.d...(since rc6.d is responsible for shutting down)

You need to create SYS V style script in /etc/ini.d/ directory. Next softlink same from runlevel 2/3/6 i.e. /etc/rc3.d/ and /etc/rc6.d/ directory:

For example if script name is /etc/init.d/script

from your replied post, i'm a bit confuse...
i already named my script S99zz

where should i put the code

cd /etc/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/S99zz S99??
cd /etc/rc6.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/S99zz K99??

sorry for being so miserable...

i've tried...
correct me if i'm doing wrong...

i create a file in /etc/init.d
the filename is test

inside the test..i put
#!/bin/bash
cd /etc/rc3.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/test S99test
cd /etc/rc6.d
ln -s /etc/init.d/test K99test

i've looking what is happening to the system...
and discover that S99test is created inside /etc/rc3.d
also, K99test is created inside /etc/rc6.d

the thing is... where should i put my real script?
still in puzzled...

please help me...

Err … you need to put actual script (test) in /etc/init.d/ And type the above commands at shell prompt (not in script). Script is use to start or stop some service.

Step # 1: Create a script called test
Now write script
Step # 2: Create a startup soft link
Step # 2: Create a shutdown soft link
[code]cd /etc/rc6.d
ln -s ../init.d/test K99test[code]

For example here is how my oracle startup script looks
http://bash.cyberciti.biz/script/ora...service.sh.php

Now I need to copy this script to /etc/init.d/ directory.

Next, softlink pracle using ln command
[code]cd /etc/rc2.d
ln -s ../init.d/oracle S99oracle[/code]

thanks nixcraft...
u really help me alot...

my script appear before the OS (montaVista) is loading..
and my script, will copy some files in to another file and later will reboot...
this will run continuosly...
i cant hit ctrl+c to stop the script while it running my script..
is there any other way to stop them...

thanks in advance

You need to put some logic in script to stop. I hope you have written proper sys v style script with stop, start arguments? can you paste your script so that i can help you

what is the meaning of SYS V style?

i did put a timer at my script and did run well...

i did browse around and did open my .cfg file inside my Fedora core... but i cant see the way..

my sv said that if i wanted user to enter the data and saved as the varible for next execution, i need .cfg file..

please help me
