Rep:
When I released the college (2003 May) I submitted this because I wanted to learn case-esac in shell script.
Now I searched "i like dinesh" in network which has given me this link: http://<br />

I am not sure if I understand it correctly:
do you complain about your script's output not shown during startup?
As far as I know you need specific functions for that. On Fedora the source function library /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions is included for that purpose, especially the action() function. It handles the task of running and logging and assumably also displaying text output at boot time.
