Hi, I have been going through the inittab script for various filesystems. I have noticed that quite a few of them specify the sysint line as follows:
::sysinit:-/etc/init.d/rcS I would like to know what the '-' character before the action is for. I imagined it was to specify a login environment. I am not sure though. Earlier when i was trying to launch an application in the background through an init.d script, the application would just not launch. When i removed the '-' character from the above line, i was able to do so. Today i found that if i keep the '-' character and launch the application in the background using start-stop-daemon, it works fine. Lastly, the PATH i have specified in the /etc/profile does not seem to be available in the rcS scripts, including mdev hotplug scripts. I have to specify the additional paths in rcS and hotplug scripts. Looking forward to your replies.
