Depends which distro you're using, but probably the simplest way is to add the command to start the application to an 'rc.local' file that lives somewhere in /etc/rc.d/. Debian may use rc.boot for the same purpose, but I don't know off the top of my head. The more robust method (and I think the preferred one in general) is to create a start/stop script in /etc/init.d/. (I think RedHat uses /etc/rc.d/init.d/) -Tim -- Tim Wilson | Visit Sibley online: | Check out: Henry Sibley HS | http://www.isd197.org | http://www.zope.com W.
