Greetings,
Tonight I rebooted my machine (due to an electrical outage) and noticed
that rc.local isn't functioning properly. Here's some detail:
As part of my system startup, I start a system monitoring program. In
/etc/rc.local I have the following line:
/usr/local/bin/check >/dev/null 2>&1 &
I know that rc.local is being run because I added some trace statements to
it, i.e.:
echo before >/tmp/status
/usr/local/bin/check >/dev/null 2>/&1 &
echo after >> /tmp/status
Prior to 8.2, the program would start and run detached, just like I
wanted. Now, in 8.2, the program isn't running.
Any ideas why this isn't working any longer?
Thanks.
David
