I usually set the transfer rate for wlan on start up because I dunno any other way of doing it. I find it weird that every other ubuntu versions can do rc.local at startup, even 9.10 xubuntu, but it didn't work for ubuntu.
how can I get the computer to run the script on startup? I tried to google for the problem but I only seen people mentioning the problem not the solution.
I'm trying to figure out how to launch rc.local before services like autofs is being executed during system bootup. The reason I wanted this is because I needed for my server to pickup a DHCP address from my college's DHCP servers in order to get an IP address. Unfortunately, I couldn't get an IP address any other way and the update-rc script is really confusing to use.

I came from Windows and I am want to learn how C++ programs are compiled and executed in Linux. I read in "Thinking in C++" that the linker adds (by default) a startup module to the object files that an application should be made of. Now when I use g++, I can create an single object module out of a single source code file then execute it in the terminal like this:
./objectFile.out
How can this object file be executed while it doesn't contain the startup module? In Windows, object files usually get combined into an executable file (somthing.exe) then that executable can be executed, is this not necessary in Linux? does the OS perform required actions before it executes that object file?
I was messing around with my newly installed Archlinux, in a virtual machine (thankfully not my main computer) and now I cannot boot up. The issue is, I read that I could add commands in the rc.local file so that they would be automatically executed after booting up... so, I added the "pacman -Syu" command there, but it usually asks for a confirmation to continue, and that's why I think it is getting stuck there (it gets stuck just after running the daemons).
So, is there a way to stop the rc.local file to be loaded at startup?
I have some problems with rc.local. It wont execute a scipt of mine at startup.
The script itself works and if I run rc.local manually it works too...

why a script is not being executed during shutdown. I have a script in 'init.d' that works properly from command line. It also works fine at boot. My problem is that it does not execute at all on shutdown. I am using all the standard rc.d stuff for the script. Here are my LSB tags:
Code:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: setwebpage
# Required-Start: $network httpd
[code]....
When I check the rc?.d directories, the appropriate links are there with the proper NN. This script has to FTP a couple of files to a remote server so the network is required and the script should be run very early in the shutdown process. However, the first thing the script does is send a message via 'logger' indicating it is executing with the 'start' or 'stop' parameter. The 'stop' message never shows up in the log thus I have to conclude that it simply is never executed.
I have a .wav file that ask "what's is your name in a robotic/computer voice. Is there I way I can execute that .wav file to execute as the script itself ask "What is your name?" giving the illusion that the computer is asking the question?
