XORP will not start at boot until an init script is created for it. Because this is installation-specific it is generally left up to the package maintainer (distribution). The following example runs XORP as a daemon with a log file in var/log/xorp an expected configuration file in/etc/xorp/config.boot and a PID file in /var/run/xorp.pid and is generally created as /etc/init.d/xorp.
