Re: keyboard history buffer setting

2004-08-18 Thread Jan Christian Meyer
It doesn't work for me when placed in rc.conf, with either
a direct command or attempting to use allscreens_flags.
I run 5.2.1 myself, but if anything I write is incorrect
for 4.10 someone will surely correct me shortly.
It looks to me like you've been putting your parameter in
the wrong string; as far as I understand, allscreens_flags
is sent to vidcontrol, while allscreens_kbdflags goes to
kbdcontrol.
Putting plain commands into rc.conf is unlikely ever to
accomplish much. Peek in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for a lot of
interesting stuff which will work, though.
If you still need to do shell stuff on startup, slapping
together a script and putting it in rc.d is the way to go.
The man pages of rc explain the works, and include a
template script which you can copy and fill in.
Cheers,

Wow! There's a lot there, in man rc. I'll play with that. 

Is there a way to force the startup files to be re-read 
without completely rebooting the system? That would help 
while I'm learning.

Thank you!
