Bootscripts Question

2005-04-01 Thread Matthias Berndt
Greetings, I hope it may be a little question. In /etc/rc.d/init.d/cleanfs at line 90 there is a command '> /var/run/utmp'. What does this command do? I've read the man-pages, but I couldn't get behind it. Thanks Matthias Berndt -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: ht
