The script is no longer symlinked in /etc/rc.d/rcsysinit.d/. It is now ran by udevd. There are two rules in /etc/udev/rules.d/55-lfs.rules that run the setclock script during the time of 'udevadm settle'. SUBSYSTEM=="rtc", ACTION=="add", MODE="0644", RUN+="/etc/init.d/setclock start" and KERNEL=="rtc", ACTION=="add", MODE="0644", RUN+="/etc/init.d/setclock start" Nothing is ever displayed on the screen as this script is run by udevd, which has its own display level, not by init, but be assured that if the /dev/rtc file exists, be it a symlink to a device node, or a device node itself, the setclock script has already been run (unless the setclock script is missing or not executable) during the time of the udev script's run in rcsysinit.d. This does not mean that you cannot create the symlinks in RL0 and RL6 to run the script at shutdown. Hope that helps rather than confuses. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
