You could add this to the '.profile' file of the user, so that it gets executed when the user logs in.

Hi BL,
Is it means putting that script with "ksh -o emacs" into that user profile? Is yes, how about enable for all user?

If your users have 'ksh' set as their login shell (see /etc/passwd) you can include the line 'set -o emacs' in the /etc/profile file to get this functionality turned on for all users when they log in.

Hi Mark,
Thks for the advice and guide. I had already try and it work successfully. If i want to put a script and want the script auto run once it boot, where should i save the script?

Hello Adam,
I think you can put in inittab file where you can also put in which runlevel it would run.And you'll have to put the script at the end of inittab file(not in between...)

I would save your script to /sbin/init.d and then create a link to /sbin/rc3.d. Everything in /sbin/rc3.d that starts with an 'S' is run (in numerical order) when the system transitions to run level 3.

#ln -s /sbin/init.d/myscript /sbin/rc3.d/S99myscript
