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.
