custom startup script

[Jerome Yanga]

Hi all!

In the past, I would create custom startup scripts and create a link in the
/etc/rc.d/rc5.d/ directory.

Is this still a good practice?  If not, please let me know where I should
put my custom startup scripts.

Thank you in advance.

regards,
j

I forgot to mention the following:

# cat /etc/redhat-release
Fedora release 19 (Schrödinger’s Cat)
# uname -a
Linux pc1 3.9.9-301.fc19.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Jul 4 15:10:36 UTC 2013 x86_64
x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

bad practice these days, systemd-units are much more powerful
and for oneshot-scripts mostly simpler in the syntax as
the sysv-init stuff

http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.service.html
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.unit.html
http://0pointer.de/public/systemd-man/systemd.exec.html

systemctl --help
man systemctl

example below enabled with "systemctl enable network-bonding-bridge.service"

[root@rh:~]$ cat /etc/systemd/system/network-bonding-bridge.service
[Unit]
Description=Network Bonding Bridge
After=network.service
Before=vmware.service

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/usr/local/bin/bondig-bridge.sh start
ExecStop=/usr/local/bin/bondig-bridge.sh stop
