Help with a bash command

Im trying to get Apache2 and mysql to start when the server is started. Im using openSUSE. And found these instructions on the net

I have logged on as root.

vi /etc/init.d/Mattsstartupscript

Code:

#! /bin/bash

/usr/sbin/rcapache2 start
/usr/sbin/mysql start

echo "Apache and Coldfusion started"

That is as far as I get How do i get the file to save.
I get a error saying "/ect/init.d/mattstartupscript" E212: Cannot open file for writing
Then exit and save it: ctrl+x

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/scriptname

then launch yast2 and goto system->runlevel editor and advanced.
set runlevel 3 or 5 or both for it and launch it.
Hope this worked.

I wouldn't bother making your own startup script(s) just use the default OpenSuSE runlevel manager in Yast. See here for mysql: http://en.opensuse.org/MySQL

Is that a typo in your command or a typo on the error message? That would explain the error message (/ect doesn't exist).

<pedantic>Ctrl+x doesn't save and exit in vi: you'll need to press <Esc>:wq to do that.</pedantic>

He is using Nano if exiting with Ctrl+X.

Or Pico... But I was being pedantic

Thanks got it running now. I was trying to run vi, but did it with the runlevel management YAST

The message probably meant you weren't editing as root BTW.
