I got this working once, but I can't remember everything I had to do. At a minimum, look in /ltsroot/etc/inittab, and add a line like: l6:6:wait:/etc/init.d/rc 6 Then copy the server's /etc/init.d/rc file to /ltsroot/etc/init.d/, and modify it. 'shutdown' is simply supposed to call 'init 6', which will run /etc/init.d/rc 6. That runs /etc/init.d/reboot (or somesuch) At the end of that, it runs /sbin/reboot or /sbin/halt, so you'll need /tftpboot/sbin/reboot as well. You can put in a couple of echo's in the script to find out how far it gets. > Thanks. > > Elbert Lai > Manager, Engineering Services @ Real Time Solutions > 5650 Hollis Street, Suite 100 .
