Re: [PLUG] starting a program at boot

[christophe barbé <christophe.barbe.ml@online.fr>]

/etc/rc.d/init.d/ is outdated.
The FSH say /etc/init.d/ and IIRC on recent RH distrib /etc/rc.d/init.d/
is a symlink to /etc/init.d/.

You can reasonably expect all distributions to use /etc/init.d/

And /etc/rc.d/rc.local is a RH kludge.
