You can put code into /etc/rc.local that will be executed on bootup.

/Carl

That file was empty is it supposed to be that?

Yea, it is a place for local sysadmin to dump stuff to be booted at startup; the other alternative is to create an init script in /etc/init.d and create appropriate symlinks to /etc/rcX.d (often by using update-rc.d)

Eh, my bad, forgot that that file isn't connected in sarge; you would have to add following to the appropriate place in /etc/inittab:
rclocalS:2345:wait:/etc/rc.local start
rclocalK:06:wait:/etc/rc.local stop

Whooo Jolly Jumper as Lucky Luke would've sad when things ot out of hand.

Do i understand you correctly that whatever i put in rc.local isn't enough? It needs more tweeking?

Or is it the other file, init.d???

/etc/init.d is an directory containing all scripts that is ran during startup, though the directories defining what, and in what order should be booted is in /etc/rcN.d where N is 0 ot 6 or S; also in etch and above, /etc/rc.local is also executed.

To add an new init to do the above, do the following:

1. add following to /etc/init.d/disable-offload

Code: Select all

#!/bin/sh

set -e

. /lib/lsb/init-functions 

case "$1" in
  start)
    log_begin_msg "Disable offload on wan interface"

    /usr/sbin/ethtool -K eth0 rx off tx off

    log_end_msg 0
    exit 0
    ;;
    
  stop|restart|force-reload)
    exit 0
    ;;
  
  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
    exit 3
    ;;
esac

2. execute: update-rc.d disable-offload defaults
