Question

After researching, it seems that it would be easier to add commands to an existing script as opposed to creating a startup script for each of my needs. I am trying to get a series of repititive tasks done at system startup like:

sudo mkdir -p ~/scripts

sudo mount -t vboxsf scripts ~/scripts

Instead of finding a methodology for each system (I read that start script vary from system to system), I would like to know if there is a universal scripts to append this too (like I have done with environment variables in /etc/environment). Is there a universal file I can target to do these mounts?

Thanks, Yucca

some distributions (Redhat/CentOS) have /etc/rc.local exactly for this task. On openSuSE it is /etc/init.d/after.local
