I've read something like that, yes. But how would I make sure the
startup scripts in /usr/pkg/etc/rc.d are effectively used at startup
in Slackware?

As a shot in the dark you could write a bash script that looks for "chmod +x" files in the "/usr/pkg/etc/rc.d" and execute them?


I dont have an example script though,.. sorry.
