#2 Re: Running scripts after a reboot for non-root users Posted by etptupaf (158.227.xx.xx) on Wed 15 Mar 2006 at 09:41 Thank you for this tip, Steve. I usually run a script when I arrive to my office which runs fetchmail once and changes in the server a .forward file, so that mail is redirected to my machine (thus, I do not need to run fetchmail any more during the day). When I leave, I run another script that renames in the server that .forward file, so mail accumulates until next day in the server. Now I see a nice way to run the first script automatically, via the @reboot in a cron file. Question: is there a similar way to run a script on closing down the machine for a non root user?
