in reply to startup scripts under Slackware

Redhat based systems have a bash script called 'service' that performs this task (including many more checks). It's a pretty basic system admin tool that's been around for ages. Are you saying that Slackware doesn't have an equivalent?

    Exactly. You might say Slackware doesn't really need one.

    All scripts live in /etc/rc.d/ - there are no other directories containing symlinks, no Sdd or Kdd scripts, nada. We get an rc.S (for single user, or runlevel 1), an rc.M (multiuser, or runlevel 3), an rc.4 that launches (x|g|k)dm, an rc.6, an rc.K, and other daemon scripts like rc.httpd, rc.mysqld, rc.inetd, rc.samba, rc.sshd, etc.
