Is there a simple way to run commands during the boot process, but after init scripts are run in openSUSE, sort of like rc.local file in other distributions? I was told that boot.local is the same in openSUSE, but these commands run before the init scripts. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Andrew, You're looking for /etc/rc.d/boot.local -Matt -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Andrew,

You're looking for /etc/rc.d/boot.local

And how would I ensure boot.local runs after the init scripts, not before as I am currently seeing in openSUSE 11.3? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Nope, boot.local is not what rc.local does. You have to create an init script, with the provided template, that runs after $ALL services instead. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.15 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0Ge9sACgkQhbiInYWJi9PKqwCaA8zs6ptrH0raYBOVW5apz6ij TE0AnjVhwW55dSenxVPeotfD+BsJMFyV =SEMy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

You're looking for /etc/rc.d/boot.local

Note that the file may not exist but will function properly if you make one containing a command, ie: 15:01 wahoo:~ > cat /etc/init.d/boot.local #! /bin/sh # # Copyright (c) 2002 SuSE Linux AG Nuernberg, Germany.

Create the file /etc/init.d/after.local and put your stuff in there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

In the same format as rc.local and boot.local or does it need to be in init script style? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Create the file after.local in /etc/init.d. You can run your scripts from it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Tks. Shorter *is* better (!tm), but unless one realizes that "||" means "OR" in this case.

Pre-apologizing for the complete nitpick, but I think the clearer word for this is "else", just like the fuller syntax it is shorthand for. Inside of a [ ] or [[ ]] test it is more like a "logical or" like any other programming language. English and most other natural languages unfortunately have a lot of ambiguity that a programming language cannot tolerate, and so "or" actually does, or can, work to describe both meanings of ||, so it's only for the sake of disambiguation I point this out, not because it's actually wrong, exactly. -- bkw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Andrew,

Nope, boot.local is not what rc.local does.

You have to create an init script, with the provided template, that runs after $ALL services instead.

Or you create /etc/init.d/before.local for executing it before all runlevel scripts and /etc/init.d/after.local for executing it after all runlevel scripts. Don't know if this works with systemd.
