I will try it out over Easter, I was a bit bemused by the idea of a script
deleting itself, but you can delete an open file in linux usually, it will
then disappear when closed. I suppose ttis is the opposite of a virus, a file
that deletes itself instead of copying itself! You should patent the idea and
call it a 'suriv' file which you download, which when they are run delete
themselves and do not other harm to the system! lol

Hi,
In theory you should be able to put it in the home/username folde, or
actually anywhere on the system you want. You just have to specify the
location in /etc/init.d/rc.local. Just make sure you have a backup or
test machine, I haven't ever tried anything like this before. but here's
an example of how everything should work. If there is a default user
accout with the user name vinux.
place the file in /home/vinux
then, type
chmod 700 firstRun.sh
then, type:
sudo gedit /etc/init.d/rc.local
the last line of that file is the end of a case statement, it's the word
case written backward (esac)
at the end of that line press enter then type
./home/vinux/firstRun.sh
That should do it, if my code works that is. I am not sure if a script
can delete itself, and I am not sure if my sed statement is correct.
