== What does it do? ==
The /conf/S99user-script is a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bash_%28Unix_shell%29 Bash] script that is automatically run at the end of the firmware boot. You can include in it commands that will be executed on system startup.

== How to create ==
The /conf/S99user-script is a user-created file, inside the persistent /conf partition on your WDTV. It does not come with the firmware and needs to be created if it is necessary.

Run the commands below through telnet/ssh on your wdtv to create it (the commands and names are case sensitive!):
 touch /conf/S99user-script
 chmod a+x /conf/S99user-script
 config_tool -s; config_tool -s

Using a text editor of your choice you can edit the file and add the commands you need inside. The first line of the script '''MUST''' be the following:
 #!/bin/sh

Recommended command line text editors are [http://tuxradar.com/content/text-editing-nano-made-easy nano] or [http://www.unix-manuals.com/tutorials/vi/vi-in-10-1.html vi]
== Example script ==
The following S99user-script will update your youtube-subscription cache on startup
 #!/bin/sh
 # update youtube subscriptions - delay with 30s!
