Viz: any rc script named local-foo is considered local and sacrosanct by the system, where "-foo" could have any arbitrary value, including null (for the single instance of a local script).

Idonno. He's also recommending a constant append of these suckers so you have them all from all your old reboots. On the other hand, is main reasoning is that you lose the top end gradually on a machine that stays up for a long time, which I've seen before, and you don't need all the old ones if that's all you're trying to accomplish. Anyway, at least I'm writing the two files in the same place (/var/log/latterdmesg.log I'm calling the new one). The /etc/info area doesn't really seem right for it anyway. That kindof thing, to my mind, really goes on /var. Thanks for the feedback. > -- > Karl E.

You can create a file in /etc/init.d and then put the above command inside. There is already a skeleton file in the directory, you can just copy it down. cp /etc/init.d/sekeleton /etc/init.d/dmesg-backup (edit the file and put the command in the "start)" block) update-rc.d dmesg-backup start 99 2 3 4 5 . Don't forget to edit the DAEMON variable in the startup script (just put "dmesg"). The update-rc.d just means that the dmesg-backup script will be started last (ie: 99) and on 2,3,4,5 init levels.

Re: rc.local equivalent
Create a file in "/etc/init.d/" and call it whatever you wish. Then use "update-rc.d" to create the symlinks needed to make it work. See the "README" in "/etc/init.d/" for more details.

Debian doesn't have one.

Basically RedHat tends to use the "nonstandard" runlevel 3 (ie /etc/rc.d/rc3.d, or /etc/rc3.d if you're using RH 7.x) while Debian defaults to the "standard" runlevel 2 (ie /etc/rc2.d). "standard" or "nonstandard" in this case being compared to other Unix implementations that use the SysV init (ie Irix, Solaris, HP-UX, etc). > This appears to be an area where things are done differently in Red Hat > versus Debian One of them.

Re: rc.local equivalent
as far as i know there isn't one. make your own script in /etc/init.d and link to it in the runlevels that you want /etc/rc2.d is the default runlevels init scripts. personally, i like this method better, as you can just remove symlinks to stop them from starting up, but don't have to delete the init script itself. -- Forrest English http://truffula.net "When we have nothing left to give There will be no reason for us to live But when we have nothing left to lose You will have nothing left to use" -Fugazi On Wed, 7 Mar 2001, Holp, John Mr. wrote: > A couple of days ago someone asked the question that was in the back of my > mind, but I don't recall seeing the answer/s. > > In Red Hat and some other Red Hat "like" distributions the path sequence > > /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local > > can be used to execute your custom scripts and/or start daemons at boot > time, that is they are run out of rc.local > > The person was asking what/where is the place where one does this kind of > thing in Debian? > > I cannot find /etc/rc.d > > There is an /etc/rc.boot > > and a /etc/init.d > > If I wanted to start the printer daemon at boot time where would I put the > following > > lpd start > > You can also use rc3.d to start the lpd daemon in the Red > Hat way of doing things - is this the answer? > > This appears to be an area where things are done differently in Red Hat > versus Debian > > > > Thanks > > John > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".

rc.local equivalent
A couple of days ago someone asked the question that was in the back of my mind, but I don't recall seeing the answer/s. In Red Hat and some other Red Hat "like" distributions the path sequence /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local can be used to execute your custom scripts and/or start daemons at boot time, that is they are run out of rc.local The person was asking what/where is the place where one does this kind of thing in Debian? I cannot find /etc/rc.d There is an /etc/rc.boot and a /etc/init.d If I wanted to start the printer daemon at boot time where would I put the following lpd start You can also userc3.d to start the lpd daemon in the Red Hat way of doing things - is this the answer? This appears to be an area where things are done differently in Red Hat versus Debian Thanks John
