Startup script?

[Dimitriy]

startup

modprobe ipt_MASQUERADE
iptables -F; iptables -t nat -F; iptables -t mangle -F
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth1 -j SNAT --to 71.231.xx.xx
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward

/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start

/etc/init.d/ispconfig_server start

1. How add comments to this file? Is it "#" or "//" or something else?

2. How to add this script to startup in Ubuntu (and other Distros...)?

3. Do you consider this a clean/proper way to run your needed processes?

I made this mini script so that I could add things to my startup without having to hassle on remembering each process and such. Also I am never worried about restarting and facing a issue where something doesnt work when something wasnt started.

Its handy for me at least.

My two cents,
Dimitriy

PS. The script/file needs to be executable. I dont remember the exact command (something like chmod+x 0666 or something) but if anybody knows be sure to mention it here.

It's #.

Place the script in /etc/init.d, then make it executable:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/name_of_script

Then run this:

update-rc.d name_of_script defaults

This will add the system startup links for the script.
