Create a script (name is not important as long as it ends in .sh)
and put it in /usr/local/etc/rc.d. Also, make sure the script is
executable and contains lines like:

#!/bin/sh

echo -n " some informative message here"

su -l username -c '( command arg1 ... argn )'

Run the script (as root) manually with /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sctript.sh to
verify everything is okay and in case you need/want to add redirection
(still inside parenthesis).



Hope this helps,

Werther
