Thanks for your reply Rolf. I will try your tips sometime next week - I only have access to this machine on Mondays and Tuesdays ;-) OI have seen the skeleton file before posting, but the truth is it looks quite daunting. I was hoping someone might already have a file for starting HAL but if not I guess I'll have to write it myself.

Hi Jan
That being said, how do I make hald start during system boot? I have hald binary in /usr/sbin but I am missing startup scripts in /etc/init.d. During Good Old Times it was enough to create a script that run the required command and place that script in directory corresponding to a given runlevel (in case of Debian this would be /etc/rc5.d). But this does not seem to work. Does anyone have a script that starts up hald and could perhaps post it to the list?
Search for the file "skeleton" in /etc/init.d. Copy this file perhaps to "hald.sh" and edit it. If you have finished run "update-rc.d" to aktivate the skript. Read also the README-File in /etc/init.d
BTW: Runlevel 2 is the prefered runlevel in debian.
Hope that helps Rolf
