Ubuntu

need to create a file in /etc/init.d

Asked by Bambitheman

have tried as root to create a file in /etc/init.d/ using the terminal by the following method

cd /etc/init.d
make -f <filename>

However I receive the following error: No rule to make target <filename> stop

I have also tried using VI, with no success it does not allow me to save to the target folder /etc/init.d

I can save to /sbin but symlinking using ln -s still won't get me to have the file in /etc/init.d

Any suggestions are gratefully received

Output of uname -a is below for information
GNU/Linux 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Wed Aug 20 22:56:21 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

can you try:
sudo touch /etc/init.d/<filename>

or
sudo vi /etc/init.d/<filename>
