Add custom script at startup

It's possible to add a custom script at startup?     It's very easy actually... that's possible by using chkconfig command, but there's another choice? as example using the bigstart command...

In BIG-IP 4.x, the only supported method for running startup scripts was using /config/startup. This is described in SOL3689:

 

 

SOL3689: Routes are removed from the /etc/netstart and /config/routes files after upgrading

 

https://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/3000/600/sol3689.html

 

 

I couldn't find a related solution for 9 or 10 though but the file exists and is run at boot.

 

 

 

cat /config/startup

 

 

NOTE:

 

This file will be installed in /config/startup and it will

 

be called by /etc/rc.local.

 

 

- /config/startup is for customer config additions and

 

will be saved in UCS and configsynced.

 

 

- /etc/rc.local should *not* be used by customers and

 

can/will be changed by F5
