Thread: Running network dependent scripts on boot

i'm running ubuntu 8.10 mythtv system 'production' system, ie don't want upgrade later version 'works'. @ boot i'd call script sends commands on network raspberry pi connected av amp wake , select correct hdmi channel input (from ubuntu 8.10 system). (note have 2 mythv systems on start each 1 send appropriate commands select appropriate hdmi input port on av amp). i've written (python) script run on ubuntu platform , know works (when not run during boot), ie sends correct commands av amp (in particular can see on raspi av amp sleep commands sent , received). however, i've not been able correct av amp wakeup command sent during ubuntu 8.10 boot sequence though know run during /etc/rd.d sequence. guess though script tests , shows eth0 , has ip address no command sent on network. examining syslog seems there network setup processes run after script run suggests network not operational until after user has logged , prevents network commands being sent (and why corresponding commands on shutdown sent). need script run before user login otherwise there no monitor/keyboard on effect login! question is: how run script @ boot time depends on network being working? welcome.
