hdparm-rc scripts -- was: Re: [olug] RE: HDC: Lost Interrupt Error

[Brian Wiese]

Does anyone know what the corresponding file would be in a Debian based
system?  

// directory structure
bwiese at braveheart:etc$ ls -l rc
rc.EthStatus  rc0.d         rc2.d         rc4.d         rc6.d
rc.boot       rc1.d         rc3.d         rc5.d         rcS.d

I imagine putting someting in rc.boot/ but the man page says:
"The  /etc/rc.boot  directory is obsolete"

Whats another good system startup file to put commands like this in
besides /etc/inittab??  Isn't one of the rcX.d directories scripts always
run - for any runlevel?  ... Ok, found it, scripts in /etc/rcS.d/ get
executed for all runlevels.  But isn't there another script?  Maybe not.
=)

peace
Brian
