Uhm, well with juliet (which I am thinking of renaming 'sysconfig' now
that the name is fading from use). you could say something like :

echo ".system.startup.local_startups add <dirname>" | juliet

The script to do this isn't in place yet, but all the infrastructure
is.  ftp://gsoft.com.au/pub/juliet.tar.gz if you're interested.

No, I haven't had time to work on it lately; I'm still waiting to hear
from anyone that knows how to bind a Perl interpreter into a Tcl
interpreter so that I can invoke Perl functions by name, and take
callbacks from the Perl interpreter.
