I have big brother installed on my server I was wondering how I would write in a script to start big brother when the machine boots.
I have to su to user bb then execute /var/www/html.....././runbb.sh start
how would I do that automatically?
See attached script. Modify to match what you have. Save as /etc/init.d/bb, and chmod 755. Than do "chkconfig bb on" as root.
