'beep' can play any given frequency. We have a "happy" sound that plays after a successful boot. And you can have a "sad" melody when things fails. Usage: beep [-f freq] [-l length] [-r reps] [-d delay] [-D delay] [-s] [-c] beep [Options...] [-n] [--new] [Options...] ... beep [-h] [--help] beep [-v] [-V] [--version] > >and sfdisk is a very nice tool to create partitions from scripts. beats > >parted. > > our fdisk should be massaged into an sfdisk.

Som other programs expect to do 'shutdown -r now' for reboot and 'shutdown -h now' for poweroff. I know I easily can make a wrapper script for that but it would be more conevenient to have it with busybox. I have a system for overwriting links to busybox when the "real" tools are installed and re-run busybox --install -s when they are uninstalled. A wrapper scripts creates file conflicts for the package manager if the "real" shutdown from util-linux-ng gets installed. Also a new file will take minimum 4kb of disk while a bb applet probably might be done on 10-20 bytes. -nc _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
