I need to a program to launch on boot on my dreambox.

Its Linux based, so how do I go about doing it?

Quote from: example-shell-script.sh#!/bin/sh
/path/to/executable/name-of-executable

/etc/rc.d/rc.local is the equivalent of autoexec.bat for most Linux distros, its usually used for calling other scripts at boot time.
Also remember to give any scripts you write executable permissions.

shell script...i hate that in first year

how do I name a script? is there a format?
like .bat for batch file.

.sh?

strictly speaking you can call it what you like, its the execute permission setting which tells the system its an executable file under *nix.

mostly they end in .sh though.

to get the script to run at startup:

Thats for ubuntu, but it should be something similar for your setup.
