[ltp] Automatically running programs on startup

[Matthew Ganis]

Putting stuff in /etc/rc.d/rc.local will do what you want.   Upon startup,
your Operating
system will run all of the commands in the appropriate rc* directory (ie,
if you run at runlevel
3 it will will everything in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d) - the last thing to be run is
S99local which is
linked to /etc/rc.d/rc.local

Subject:    [ltp] Automatically running programs on startup



Where is the Linux equivalent of the autoexec.bat file?

I need to have my computer automatically run the following on startup and
I cannot figure out how to do it

cardctl insert
ifconfig eth0 up

both run in Boot mode.

If oyu know where I can do this, it would be great.
