selecting some kind of files using the resync command

[Angelo Moreschini]

I was able to solve this problem (synchronization of the files) from line
command
launching a script that I wrote....

But I would like also to execute  the script AUTOMATICALLY at the boot...

Joachim  suggest me to try with /etc/rc.local

I saw that this file ( /etc/rc.local) is not anymore supported in the
latest version of Fedora (http://joshua14.homelinux.org/blog/?p=1377)

So* I wrote my new file /etc/rc.local*.
But  I think that (perhaps) I also have to do some special setting in order
that
the file /etc/rc.local is used at the boot...

So I would like to know if it need to do some special setting in order that
the file  /etc/rc.local that I wrote it works at the boot.

Thank you

Regards

Angelo
