Subject: [gentoo-amd64] how to best run a script at boot
Date: Sun, 15 Jul 2007 11:15:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200707151115.30828.tcoulon@decoulon.ch> (raw)

Hello,

I find myself again needing to run a few things on Winblow, so I reinstalled 
my "old" vmware (I have a workstation 5 license).
My problem is that while everything installed well, on the next start I had no 
network more. I've found out that running /usr/lib/vmware/net-services.sh 
creates the missing /dev/vmnet0, so now I'd like that script to be run every 
start.
On one list, someone suggested adding the script to /etc/rc.d and then 
running "rc-update add <script> default". I've done that during Gentoo 
install, but I was wondering if it was a good idea to add a "non system" 
script to default.

Thierry
