During the system bootup, the init script /etc/rc.d/rc.M is partially executed. The last 3rd of the file does not get executed. When I run those remaining commands manually, they work fine. Why is that happening? Assuming there are some hidden characters in the rc.M file, I deleted the problem portion of the file, and retyped them. That did not help either. If there are some hidden characters in a text file, how do I find them out? Thank you in advance. Subba Rao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://pws.prserv.net/truemax/ => Time is relative.
