What's the equivalent file in SuSE linux (7.1) for the rc.local file in
RedHat.
Tried boot.local but this started about not allowing binaries (of some sort)
and plz don't tell me its rc.config :) isn't this only for startup
variables?

RC.local exist in suse 7.2, but is not created at install time, you must
create it by your self...

I tried this and looked at the man page of init.d
but still...... I have to run my script manually every time after I start
up.
Can't achieve to let it run automatically at boot-time

try using oot.local in /etc/rc.d/ I used this for my hdparm
configuration and works well...

I don't know what rc.local does in RH but in SuSE (since at least
version 6.3) it is the main configuration file for the system.
If you changed anything in it run "SuSEconfig" afterwards to make
the changes take effect. In SuSE rc.local is located in /etc.

If you are looking for a file that gets executed at boot time
you should look for /etc/init.d/boot.local. Of course you can
run any program/script you want from within that file (if it is
executable). AFAIK boot.local gets run by the user root. So there
shouldn't be any restriction.
