Making Programs/Services Run Automatically in SUSE 10?
I'm a Linux newbie coming from a strong Windows background and am trying to learn Linux (SUSE 10) and set up a web filtering server using Squid and Dansguardian.
I've managed to learn how to compile and install both programs...which was a learning curve in itself. Now that I've installed them, how do I get them to start up automatically when the computer boots up? I have to type in the commands from a terminal window each time I turn on the computer to start both programs.
Example: sudo /usr/local/sbin/dansguardian start
...and then I have to enter the root password
How can I automate the startup...really, of any program in Linux. I'm sure it's not like Windows where you just drag a shortcut into a startup folder. :)
Thanks...

Hi there,
Its called init.d or rc.d depending on the distro. Look at the link provided and scroll till you see suse. This way you create the equivalent to a "service" and you can "start" and "stop" it as you wish or add other ways. Also specificaly for squid check out the second link. For dan's and another squid one check out the third link.
