Title: Simple way to run one time task at startup?
Post by: gbentley on May 30, 2013, 10:02:30 AM

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 :)

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

This will run at startup

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