Hi,
* Thus spake Eric Anderson ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I've made a patch to /etc/rc.subr that makes the startup/shutdown rc
scripting look similar to other OS's (many different linux distros,
HP-UX, etc), but without color.
The patch shouldn't break anything, and is only enabled if you have this
in your /etc/rc.conf:
rc_fancy="YES"
Several of the /etc/rc.d/* scripts send output to stdout, so that could
be cleaned up a bit if needed, but for now I tried to keep the patch as
minimal as possible.
This is still a first pass, so please give feedback.
A short try on my notebook shows some errors.
I don't want to let this email getting too big, so I put the "dmesg -a"
output online. http://generic.0xfce3.net/dmesg-fancy.txt
BTW, the patch applied cleanly.
Thanks for the feedback! Looks like I made an erroneous assumption that
the wc, expr, and printf tools found in /usr/bin and /bin would be
available through boot, but that isn't the case on systems with those
file systems separate from /. I'm not sure how to resolve some of these
issues, since I don't know of a way to do those functions in csh without
them. I'm open to suggestions here from anyone.
Eric
