I had considered that approach. The problem is if the program is updated it will will write a new file to the rc.d directory. Since I sort of automate the updating of my system, if I was not vigilante in inspecting the rc.d directory, I could very well end up with two scripts starting the same program. I am not sure how that would work; however, I would assume it would not be a good thing. Furthermore, I am not sure if the numeric thing would really work unless I also modified the REQUIRE: and BEFORE: settings in the scripts(s). I was hoping that there would be a master config file that I could manipulate so that each script is started in a precise order irregardless of its name. -- White Hat pigskin_referee@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
