See the man > page for rcorder. > Hmm...I'm pretty sure I know what REQUIRE means. It means that you don't=20 want your script to start until the REQUIREd items have been started. I solved the problem by using the full path in the script. Originally it=20 had "exec tclsh8.4". I patched it to have "exec /usr/local/bin/tclsh8.4",=20 and it starts fine on boot now. Obviously PATH didn't have /usr/local/bin = in it at the time the script was being initiated.
