The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

startup script for different linux versions

Asked by raj_nbr in Red Hat Linux, SuSE Linux

Tags: , , ,

I need to write a a script that inserts a line into startup script of linux machines. I am doing this as part of installation of a software developed by me. During installation, I need to make sure that the newly installed program is part of startup script, so that it gets started automatically when the system boots. This should happen, regardless of linux version or flavour. In red hat, I used to write a script to insert a line into /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it works fine.

Now, in Suse enterprise, rc.d folder is not there in etc folder. Instead of that, rc.d shortcut is available, which points to rc.init folder. In this folder again, rc.local file is not there. Instead, notmal rc.0, rc.1 rc.2 etc are available.

Now, what is the best method to make sure that my program is whenever linux starts up? In which script should I insert lines to call my executable during startup? If rc.d and rc.local are not available in the linux version, should I create the folders and files? (One site says I can create the folder/file)
