The post-upgrade event removes all links from rc7.d, then rebuilds all of the needed ones, via /etc/e-smith/events/actions/conf-*-startup scripts. > Why is this and how do I prevent having to redo the links again after > future upgrades? You create an e-smith-3dm RPM which contains a conf-3dm-startup script, which is linked into the post-upgrade and post-install event directories. See http://www.e-smith.org/docs/howto/building-contribs.php3. You shouldn't be having this problem with powstatd, if you've grabbed the latest version of e-smith-powstatd, as I updated my e-smith-powstatd RPM on June 6th to include the necessary symlinks (the script conf-powstatd-startup was present in earlier versions, but wasn't being called). -- Charlie Brady [EMAIL PROTECTED] Lead Product Developer Network Server Solutions Group http://www.e-smith.com/ Mitel Networks Corporation http://www.mitel.com/ Phone: +1 (613) 368 4376 or 564 8000 Fax: +1 (613) 564 7739 -- Please report bugs to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] (only) to discuss security issues Support for registered customers and partners to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives by mail and http://www.mail-archive.com/devinfo%40lists.e-smith.org
