Thanks very much. This was a great help. Not only did it help me
solve the problem I had but it gave just enough info so I had to do
some investigating myself. So I also learned about rctab, killproc,
using head to get the pid of a program from the /var/run directory and
how the /sbin/init.d directory hangs together to control things.
After I created my /sbin/init.d/xfstt script I wanted to add it to
runlevels 1, 2 & 3. It looked as though I could do this using the
following rctab command
rctab -i xfstt -1 -2 -3
but this gave me an error (that I never wrote down) saying something
about pcmcia, which I don't have compiled into my kernel. Was this
command I used correct? In any case I got my script in by using
'rctab -e' so my problem is solved.
Cheers.
