I have a program which I want to run at startup. I put it in rc.local,
but it never executes. I am running Redhat 9, but this also happened with
Redhat 7.3. At the end of rc.local, I have this line:

freshclam -d -c 2 -l /var/log/clam-update.log

Thanks,
Jeff

Why don't you create an rc start/stop script for it then turn it on with
chkconfig. Simply create an /etc/init.d/freshclam script then enable it
with 'chkconfig --add freshclam'.

I am not good at creating those scripts.

Put the full path so it reads like ...
/some/dir/freshclam -d -c 2 -1/var/log/clam-update.log

I can't believe I didn't think of that. I just made the change, and
will let the group know what happens the next time I have to reboot
the machine.

Thanks,
