I run some software called RPCEmu (http://www.marutan.net/rpcemu/) and I want to run networking on it. I've setup networking on the emulator and also on my linux box. But I have to run the commands each time. [...] How do I run them each time I switch on the machine so that they're run as root?
Maybe you could put them in root's crontab with an @reboot timestamp.
I suspect you shouldn't run them at boot because networking may not be up and may go up/down subsequently.
Instead, put them in an file in /etc/network/if-up.d with the executable permission - there should be scripts in there that you can mimic.
Hope that helps,
