Hi,
On my school's computer, I have made a script that executes another script if
it gets the specified options from the kernel's command line parameters. The
script is a part of rc.local. It is:
---<SCRIPT>---
if grep runX /proc/cmdline > /dev/null 2>&1
then while true
do /etc/X11/prefdm
done
elif grep text /proc/cmdline > /dev/null 2>&1
then for i in $(seq 1 6)
do ( while true
do /sbin/mingetty /dev/tty$i
done
) &
done
fi
---</SCRIPT>---
The parameter that I give in the kernel is that same as the output of cat
/proc/cmdline. It reads:
ro root=/dev/hda9 vga=791 acpi=off 7 runx
The text part works fine. The /proc/cmdline reads:
ro root=/dev/hda9 vga=791 acpi=off 7 text
PS: I have already created runlevel 7, okay? It is just a copy of 3 with some
services removed and gettys removed so that I can specify everything on the
cmdline. I also know that it can also be done in init and will be better.
But, this is just for r&d.
