Profile problem

[Alain Menezes <a.menezes@CGER.BE>]

Hi,

Here's an AIX question : all the applications, daemons, launched during the 
boot process through all the rc.* files are launched by root. The problem I've 
got is that the /.profile contains execution of home-made scripts (that set 
environment variables) that are located in file systems that aren't mounted yet 
when the rc.* files are executed. The only solution I see would be to put these 
scripts in the / (or /usr or /var) directory. Does anyone have any other 
suggestion ? Is it possible to have the mount done earlier ?

Thanks

Al
