Below is a copy of what I found in a file called rc.local which is
located at /etc/init.d/.  What I want to do is create a folder at
startup and run chown on it.

 

Basically if I were at terminal I would do  -

 

sudo mkdir \var\run\MailScanner

 

chown postfix.postfix \var\run\MailScanner

 

 

how and where would I add to the following?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

#! /bin/sh

 

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

[ -f /etc/default/rcS ] && . /etc/default/rcS . /lib/lsb/init-functions

 

do_start() {

        if [ -x /etc/rc.local ]; then

                log_begin_msg "Running local boot scripts
(/etc/rc.local)"

                /etc/rc.local

                log_end_msg $?

        fi

}

 

case "$1" in

    start)

        do_start

        ;;

    restart|reload|force-reload)

        echo "Error: argument '$1' not supported" >&2

        exit 3

        ;;

    stop)

        ;;

    *)

        echo "Usage: $0 start|stop" >&2

        exit 3

        ;;

esac
