- Create a file in /etc/init.d with this line, and make a symbolic
- link to /etc/rc2.d/S#name and /etc/rc0.d/K#name. For the K#, you
- want it to be fairly high, so you don't have problems removing
- the swap area. You want a start and stop case, and the stop
- case should do a swap -d.
-
- I recommend using /etc/init.d/lp as a model.
