My solution of rc.local.

22 Oct 2005


      If there is a beter way to go - please help.
I've read /etc/init.d/README and manpages referenced
And by the way - i've disabled boot.quota, and placed quotaon -a
in my rc.local, and now this server starts much faster ;)
Quite a qute idea with using kernel mem ;). Oah, we can use UUIDz from
/proc ;).

case "$1" in
    start)

    muf=`cat /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq`
    if [ $muf != "64" ]; then
        exit
    fi
        echo -n "Starting RC_LOCAL"
        hdparm -c3 /dev/hda
        quotaon -a
        #arpwatch -i eth0 -f arp.dat-inet
        #arpwatch -i eth1 -f arp.dat-local
        echo 128 > /proc/sys/dev/rtc/max-user-freq
#    echo -n "[DEBUG] done rc_local"

        rc_status -v
        ;;
    stop)
        echo -n "Shutting down RC_LOCAL "
        rc_status -v
        ;;
    restart)
        $0 stop
        $0 start

        rc_status
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac
rc_exit
