hi all:


i made a simple file as S91file and hoped it would be started automatically whne
the machine reboots. the file is under /etc/rc2.d with 744. no, it doesn't work!
i have to use cmd "sh S91file" to start.

any ideas?

The /sbin/rc2 script invokes files whose names don't end in ".sh"
with this command:

/sbin/sh /etc/rc2.d/S91file start

Does your script perhaps not use full paths to programs that it
tries to invoke, or depend on variables that exist in root's
interactive login environment, but don't exist in the startup
shell environment?

Have you put any test commands in your script, such as
echo "invoked S91files" >> /tmp/S91files.test
