Faris's dumbo question of the day - does this need to be run as a background task when started via rc.local ?aus-city wrote: You put the script into your rc.local so its run on bootup.
i.e.
/path/to/scriptname &
or
perl /path/to/scriptname &
or
what?
I presume not, and that anything in rc.local is just run as an independant process so it can just be /path/to/scriptname
