Shouldn’t following command run myScript only at the runlevel 2. I noticed it executes at reboot too. I wanted to run it only and only at startup.
update-rc.d myScript start 01 2 . stop 01 0 1 6 .
That’s right. You need to check the first argument (start, stop, etc.) passed to your script to decide whats happening. It is explained in Debian Policy Manual ‘9.3.2 Writing the scripts’ section.
Or alternatively you can run your script just by placing it in /etc/init.d/rc.local file or do not include any stop levels in your update-rc.d.
