The tool is still init, but it goes in the ttys file: processname scriptname terminal on scritpname is invoked with processname as an argument. TERM is set to the value of terminal, and the last status is either on or off to enable or disable that particular command. See the init(8) man page for more information. There's an example floating around in the PR database as well, but I'm not sure what happened to it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
