How about a Start-Up Script that execute every 30 minutes for resolv.conf???

[George Vanev]

If you really want to copy resolv.conf from /root to /etc every 30 min
you don't need a startup script. Just add the following line in
/etc/crontab:
*/30     *       *       *       *       root    cp /root/resolv.conf
/etc/resolv.conf

I don't know what exactly are you trying to do, but this is not
quite a good decision.
