I've got a SuSE 8.1 box with Apache 2 and MySQL 4.1 running on it. I want these to be executed at bootup automatically, namely "/usr/local/apache2/bin/apachectl -start" and '/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld_safe &"

I know about init.d, but as I compiled these myself, the don't come with init scripts, and as I don't need the other features of the init system (the only time this box has ever gone off is a powerout, and init shutdown is useless then), is there any other way to have these two commands executed on boot, or even on login by root or my own account?

Does SuSE support the chkconfig command? If not try to find a similar command...

Or just add it to init.local

AFAIK SuSE uses /etc/init.d/boot.local for any user defined startup commands.

Thanks

Any way to give the system an argument to bypass boot.local from GRUB?
