@everyone with Linux knowledge...
What is the different of the two startup script options for ubuntu server:
1: edit file "rc.local" in /etc on linux server which some people advice
2: edit file (named "oscam") in /etc/init.d/ as for example desribed on osacm wiki.
what is the difference Upside/downside for these two types??
Hope someone can explain to get clarification on this option :)
Thanks ahead..

UPDATED: after more insight knowledge from a linux buddy, i now know that the solution nr. 2 in above post is the best way to get oscam to startup with boot. That's because you make the "oscam" script in /etc/init.d/ to be a linux system service with the command:"sudo update-rc.d oscam defaults" and then it always starts up with your linux system.
script file is attached...remember to rename file to "oscam" and FTP to /etc/init.d/ and chmod to 755. Also your oscam bin file should be in /usr/bin with this script and not /usr/locale/bin.
code in script file:
