Re: knoppix 6.0.1: rc script for run level 2
Hallo Zvi,
I guess you have already made the script executable (chmod 755). Then the script should be linked to /etc/rc2/S99rc2. Important is the S##. It means that the script is _S_tarted after all scripts with smaler numbers have been executed. In fact the order of execution is the same as shown with ls -l.
cd /etc/init.d
ln -s rc2 /etc/rc2.d/S99rc2
ls -l /etc/rc2.d/S99rc2
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 2009-12-11 09:59 /etc/rc2.d/S99rc2 -> rc2
Knoppix is derived from debian, docs are here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/
Runlevel management is here:
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-reference/ch03.en.html#_the_runlevel_management_example
With kind regards
Achim
PS: I hope this all is still right, because the starting procedue in UNIX is about to change due to slow booting times.
