Re: [newbie] How to write a bash login script?
Thanks to everyone for the help. I'm just starting to learn scripting. I'm also going to get the O'Reilly book on Expect. Someone else suggested that as a good place to start. Nico, you may want to look at the IBM support site for the driver for your modem. I just did a quick search and apparently there is a driver listed for the 570E. When I downloaded the driver I'm using, it only listed the 600E, not the 600 as being supported, but it worked anyway. Thanks, Michael On Fri, 08 Jun 2001, Nico Krzebek wrote: > Lucky you!

Re: [newbie] How to write a bash login script?
Lucky you! I didn't get the softmodem on my TP570 (lucent modem) into a working state. Since your script needs to be run just once after system boot, you could for instance append the line /path_to_script/acpsetup to /etc/rc.d/rc.local, so it gets automatically executed when your box switches to runlevel 2, 3 or 5. If you want it to be run only in certain runlevels (e.g. 5) make a link named S99z_acpsetup in /etc/rc5.d/, i.e. you type ln -s /path_to_script/acpsetup /etc/rc5.d/S99z_acpsetup This way you don't have to su or anything like that.

[newbie] How to write a bash login script?
I have an IBM 600 laptop running 7.2 and it has an internal ACP (Win Modem). I downloaded a driver from the IBM website and installed it fine and the modem works well. It's just that after start-up and rebooting, I have to su in and give root password and issue the following commands. #!/bin/bash cd /usr/mwave/mw* insmod mwavedd setserial ttyS1 autoconfig ./mwavem I wrote a script to do this portion called acpsetup. How do I write the script to have it login as su and supply the password and issue the commands. I'd like to get it down to one simple ./acpsetup command to handle everything. Thanks, Michael
