Sometimes, you need to run some commands during your Linux server startup. And you don't want to waste time with preparing valid init script now. The common task is to load some kernel module or to change speed of network interface and so on.
Red Hat distributions provides for this task rc.local script. You can find it in the directory
SUSE distros like SLES or OpenSUSE provide similar mechanism. You have available two scripts. The before.local script should contain everything you want to run before runlevel is entered. The after.local script works like RedHat's rc.local script. It contains stuff which should be executed after runlevel is reached. The scripts don't exist by default, you need to create them at first in the directory
Besides this, the RedHat's rc.local script is executed only in runlevels 2, 3, 4 or 5. It is ignored in the single user mode. SUSE's version of after.local or before.local is interpreted during all runlevels including runlevel 1.
Red Hat distributions provides for this task rc.local script. You can find it in the directory
/etc/rc.d. The script is executed after all the other init scripts. This is ensured with the proper START scripts linking to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script:/etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99local/etc/rc.d/rc4.d/S99local/etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99local/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99localSUSE distros like SLES or OpenSUSE provide similar mechanism.
