Running software at startup

[sharper]

Hello,

I'm trying to get my ups software to run at startup.
If I log in as root I can run it and it works fine but when I add the same command to the bottom of the file /etc/rc.d/rc.local the ups software fails to load. I can see no errors in the logs. What am I doing wrong?

Run it in /etc/rc.local

Did that work? which distribution are you running, because I belive there are different locations for startup commands depending on which distro you have.
