Topic: Simple way to run one time task at startup?

[gbentley]

I used to use a symlink for my centralised kaspersky signatures on SME - now, using 'mount --bind' I need this to run at startup and for life of me can't get 'mount --bind' to work in fstab? Maybe thats two questions

could you please be more verbose and explain your problem and not your solution?

thank you

I run commands at startup by adding them to the 'local' event as described here:

There is also a simple example of adding a script to
/etc/rc.d/rc.local
here
http://wiki.contribs.org/Wondershaper

This will run at startup

Thanks Janet - that worked!

I've also discovered that an entry in crontab beginning with "@reboot" allows you to run a command once after boot.
