executing script on system startup

[Guest mrgenius]

Hi All!

 

I have a script syslog2mysql.sh which i want to execute on system startup. How to do it?? i tried putting it in /etc/init.d/ but its not working!

 

Following are the contents of script

 

#!/bin/bash

 

if [ ! -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]

then

          mkfifo /tmp/mysql.pipe

  fi

  while [ -e /tmp/mysql.pipe ]

  do

              mysql -u syslog --password=xxxxx syslog < /tmp/mysql.pipe >/dev/null

      done

Launch it from the end of the /etc/rc.d/rc.local file.
