OK,
I configured the router.

How do I create a shell scrip?
Isn't it just a text file with .sh extension?

How do I create a script that gets executed at boot time, before anyone
needs to log on?
I have a Sybase database server and would like to start it up with no
intervention.

I also want to do a xhost + in a .profile.
Isn't the .profile executed for a user at logon?

Again, thanks in advance for any help.

A shell script is a text file with the executable bit set.  To set the
executable bit, enter

  chmod +x file_name

where file_name is the name of your shell script.

See the README file in /etc/rc3.d for information re multiuser mode.

See the answer above.

.profile is executed at login IF you are running sh(1) as your login
command.

Thanks
