Re: Reboot, autoload server

[Wesley Leonard <x95leonard@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm not sure what you're looking for here.

Most services (httpd, ftpd, etc) start automatically at boot.  I'm not
sure what "a server program" is, but you can execute programs
immediately after loading by putting them in the /etc/rc.d/rc.local
file.  From this file, programs runs as root (I use this to run ipchains
and set up IP forwarding, for example).

I hope that helps...
