Hello, I'm following directions in someone's HOW-TO for installing xfsft. The final stages of getting this thing working is creating the file /sbin/init.d/xfsft and put a script inside it. Then symlink /sbin/init.d/xfsft to the files
/sbin/init.d/rc3.d/S29xfs /sbin/init.d/rc3.d/K10xfs /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/S29xfs /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/K10xfs
Apparantly this sets up xfsft to kick in upon startup in either init 2 or init 3 with the S29xfs files and the K10xfs provide for the shutdown.
But I don't have these files???
Wrong direction. You HAVE /sbin/init/d/xfsft You will CREATE symlinks POINT AT that file. These symlinks will be the files you list in rc3.d and rc2.d You create symlinks with this command: ln -s /target/path/and/name /link/path/and/name Note: you CAN use a relative path to the target, but the link is stored with EXACTLY the path you specify. So if you then movey the link to another location, the location pointed to also moves. This can be very useful, or very annoying. For something you're throwing together quickly, start the target with / as I did above. For the link do whatever you like to land it in the right location. If you're in the directory you want the link to reside in, then you can just give the link a file name. -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
