What I do is to run an fai softupdate via a line in cron upon reboot.
@REBOOT root fai --class=POSTINSTALL softupdate
Kind of nice to do an FAI softupdate after every reboot -- especially
the 1st one after the initial install. Over the years, I've moved more
and more stuff into the post install softupdate. This has 2 benefits.
First, the initial install takes only 5 to 10 minutes. Secondly, I can
almost do a normal install from a CD and do the softupdate and get the
same results as if I did a fai install in the first place.
So essentially what I am suggesting is that you run your script after
every reboot, not just the first one. It can be very convenient to have
a script that is run after each reboot. Personally, I update that script
via an fai softupdate. In other words, the softupdate is updating the
next softupdate. That can get tricky. Make a mistake and the softupdates
come to a screeching halt. Then you have to figure out some way to copy
a repaired script to all your fai machines. I did that once or twice
early on but now I haven't messed it up in years.

Hi,
I have a script with some commands that should be executed on first reboot
after installation only. Now I could put a call to it into rc.local and delete
it afterwards, but I’m sure I have seen a more elegant solution directly with
FAI. Could someone point my nose to the right direction?
Thanks in advance,
