playing asx files

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Well, I am new at Debian, too. I will tell you how I did it, but maybe 
someone else knows a better way.

First of all I created a file in /etc/init.d called "mystartup". You 
could call it anything you like. I have placed several commands in there 
such as the "echo" command I mentioned earlier, which are to run only 
once on system startup.

Next, that file needs to be included among the startup scripts by 
issuing a command such as the following, as root:

update-rc.d mystartup start 25 1 2 3 4 5 .

The numbers in that command begin with 25, which is a sort of priority 
number, followed by the different run levels in which the script is to 
be run. Be sure that the list of numbers ends with a period separated by 
a space from the last number.

Run level 0 is system halt, run level 6 is system restart, and the ones 
in between are the ones you want to actually run that script. Run level 
1 is "single user" or maintenance mode, and run level 2 is the one you 
normally operate in. The others are there for good measure.
