I was wondering if there is a unix version of an autoexec.bat, if there is where will it be?
I am new to unix so please be gentle!!
autoexec.bat is suppose to be one of Win32 (MS) components. Anyway check cygwin www.cygwin.com Its a Win32 based Unix variant from RH check it out. You may try on it.
what i meant was ...
as the unix box starts, it looks like it processes a script (like the windows autoexec.bat)?
i want to find this file!!
thanks,
rich
There are a few ways that the startup scripts are run. It really depends on your vendor, and the software release.
You should be able to get a good idea of what you have by running the command uname -a. Please post that back, and someone can try to help.

Unix usually runs .profile (it's a hidden file. use 'ls -a' to view it) and .login files present in the HOME directory of the unix machine.
hooray!
thanks,

.profile and .login are only run when a user logs in. Files like /etc/profile are also run.
You have to check rc and init scripts for startup commands...
I do not know where SCO init files reside, though...
Anyone else?
Try /etc/rc.d (that is a directory name even though it has a . in it)
There's a readme file in there that explains it. (cat readme|pg to read it)
Have managed to find a way to resolve problem. Many thanks for all suggestions.
