But here is an intro. This RDCLINKS "trick" is used to defined the /etc/rc?.d links to be created at boot-up. In /etc/rc?.d directorie (rc? = rcS, rc0, rc1, etc...), you'll find script files named SXX<scriptname> and KXX<scriptname>. These scripts are executed (under init's control) during transitions of run-levels. /etc/rc?.d/SXXscripts (start scripts) are executed when you enter the corresponding ? run-level. /etc/rc?.d/KXXscripts (kill scripts) are executed when you leave the run-level ? (refer to /etc/inittab for list of assigned run-levels in Bering). For example, a transition from level S (start) to 2 (multi-user level) will execute all KXXscripts in /etc/rcS.d then all SXXscripts in /etc/rc2.d. Then a transition to level 1 (single-user) will execute all KXXscripts in /etc/rc2.d then all SXXscripts in /etc/rc1.d All these scripts are executed in alphanumerical order (S00a.., S00b..., ..., S01, S02... S99z....). Note: when the system boots up, all SXXscripts in /etc/rcS.d are executed. Going back to RDCLINKS, the value "S,S38 2,S13 3,S13 4,S13 5,S13 6,K87" in /etc/init.d/pcmcia resulted in creation of following links: /etc/rcS.d/S38pcmcia /etc/rc2.d/S13pcmcia /etc/rc3.d/S13pcmcia etc... /etc/rc6.d/K87pcmcia Which not the correct way to do it. Following Eric Spacman's suggestion, RDCLINKS in pcmcia script is now "S,S20 0,K20 6,K20" which means: S,S20 : starts pcmcia at startup 0,K20 : stops pcmcia when (before) halting the system 6,K20 : stops pcmcia when (before) rebooting the system Hope this clarify. -- Christian - Grenoble ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net is sponsored by: Speed Start Your Linux Apps Now.
