Hi guys 
I have been loving how gentoo works and such, and i would like to ask a few questions myself to learn a bit more.
1. In Gentoo, there are text files that programs (like Console and X and such) run when you run the program.
Where are the directory of those files?
when turning X off, i could see that it was trying to run a special file it runs when you shut it down, i wanted to add something to that line but i didn't know where this file was.
| line i wanted to add wrote: | | logoff |
Is here a doc (like, can i see in the man pages) where it says where those files are?
2. I love crating scripts, but in Linux, you have to add ./ in front of that to make it run.
How can i disable that, so that i would only have to type the name instead of adding ./ in front
How can i make it so that i can run it anywhere?
3. In linux, you can make scripts and such run at boot up.
How can i do that?
Can you link me to a manual that explains further about that?
Thanks in advance  |

This is because "normal" executables are searched in the PATH. You could copy all your scripts into one directory (/home/blackman/bin/ or /usr/local/bin/) and include this into your PATH variable.

For all users: /etc/profile
For one user: /home/.../.bashrc
