Tim,

   Create the rc.wsdd2 and then document something that says to active the program add the following lines to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file:

   if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 ] ; then
           /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 start
   fi

The rc.local file is for local things to be done at startup.  Then indicate that the following lines should be added to the /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown file:

   if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 ] ; then
           /etc/rc.d/rc.wsdd2 stop
   fi

   Obviously, the rc.wsdd2 script would need to support a "start" and "stop" option. You should probably also support a "restart" and "status" in the rc.wsdd2 script.

   The rc.local_shutdown file is for local things to be done at shutdown. It does not exist by default.

    The rc.local and rc.local_shutdown scripts are invoked from the rc.M and rc.6/rc.0 scripts at the appropriate time.  This is the rc.local file from Slackware 14.2:

   #!/bin/sh
   #
   # /etc/rc.d/rc.local:  Local system initialization script.
   #
   # Put any local startup commands in here.  Also, if you have
   # anything that needs to be run at shutdown time you can
   # make an /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown script and put those
   # commands in there.

   As Matteo pointed out you do not want to make changes to the /etc/rc.d/rc.M or the /etc/rc.d/rc.S  files.  Documents the needed changes in the appropriate README file.

   Don
