startup script for Suse Linux?
Posted by Ralph Crawford on October 7th, 2003


I can't believe this but I can't seem to find where the system startup
script is for my Suse Linux 8.1 box. I thought it was
/etc/profile.local but that's not it. Any help'd be appreciated.

Thanks.

Black Sun and said:
On any Unix-like system, the first process that gets started is init, by
ancient convention. init's configuration file is /etc/inittab . Read
/etc/inittab , and you will find out exactly what scripts get run.
IIRC, the script that SuSE starts in most situations is /etc/init.d/boot
.. Further scripts are called depending on the runlevel (usually "5") in
the SysV init scheme. HTH,
