    I'm trying to run a.. umm, hard to explain. This is what is required. I obviuosly get an error because the example below is for RH.
    PHP:
    ## For those using Redhat style rc files and using daemon-mode:
      
    cp sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient
      
    ## enable automatic startup when booting
      
    /sbin/chkconfig --add ddclient
      
    ## start the first time by hand
      
    /etc/rc.d/init.d/ddclient start
    What must be done in order for the script to able to run on every reboot?

    Thanks

    For Debian the steps should be as follows:

    Code:
    cp sample-etc_rc.d_init.d_ddclient /etc/init.d/ddclient
    update-rc.d ddclient defaults
    /etc/init.d/ddclient start
