Adding items to startup

Post by impulse() »

I have a Python script called Denyhosts that I want to run each time my box boots up. Where do I add the execution line to?

Did you install DenyHosts from a Fedora repository as mentioned in http://denyhosts.sourceforge.net/faq.html#1_14 ?

There's a README.txt in the DenyHosts archive that tells you what to do.

As root issue ' /sbin/chkconfig denyhosts on'

check it with

' /sbin/chkconfig --list | grep deny'

should give

denyhosts 0 off 1 off 2 on 3 on 4on 5 on 6off
