howto create startup script
« on: March 05, 2012, 03:04:18 AM »
Hi,

I am very much new to TCL. I have the following situation.

I want to run a shell script everytime the TCL boots. Can somebody help how to do that..? The script is very simple. Might have 2-3 lines of code. Do I need to create an extension and make it onboot or is there any other easier way to do the same.

Just add your code to /opt/bootlocal.sh

P.S: Please do not doublepost. Your other thread is deleted.

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Huh.... Nice number. Don't tell my why I'm posting here instead repairing water pipe in the kitchen.

Thanks!

am I correct - the code, not the file name and location of the script?
t(w)o be(ers) or not t(w)o be(ers) that is the question

Hi beerstein
Either way will work.
