[ILUG] Back to basics - rc.local

[Declan Grady]

Ugh .. I hate to ask such a stupid question, but what is wrong with this

.. at the end of my rc.local  (symlinked to rc3.d/S99local and
rc2.d/S99local) I have added 3 commands to bring up the isdn interface,
start local nameserver, and start squid.....

<snip>
# Bring up isdn interface
. ifup ippp0

# Start the local Caching Nameserver
echo Starting Local Caching Nameserver
. ndc start

# Start the Squid Cache
#
echo Starting Squid ...
. /usr/local/squid/bin/squid

<snip>

None of these seem to work on boot, but if I login as root and type the 3
commands they do work !

Wtf ?

I've tried without the dot-space also, but no joy.

Thanks,
Declan
