I wanted to test this before telling you. I don't think that you really need to worry about the rc.local script. With these instructions, you can get rid of the rc.local script entirely. What I did was to take the diskmounter.sh and copy it to config/chroot_local-includes/etc/init.d/diskmounter.sh and chmod +x config/chroot_local-includes/etc/init.d/diskmounter.sh Then I followed the instructions for question 11 in the FAQ (Q: How do I disable services permanently? (Be careful!)) -- although I enabled the diskmounter script instead of disabling it, but the concept is the same. ----------------------- #!/bin/sh echo "I: enable diskmounter service" update-rc.d diskmounter.sh defaults 80 ----------------------- I put the script above in config/chroot_local-hooks/01-enable_diskmounter.sh then chmod +x config/chroot_local-hooks/01-enable_diskmounter.sh This seems to work just fine. You may want to edit the diskmounter.sh script to keep it from asking you a question (and holding up the remainder of the initscripts), but that's up to you. > What then happens on shutdown? I would expect that the CD gets ejected. It should, I tested the process on the net image, so there was no cd to eject. > And not that some services get re-started. You have to really know what you're doing to get update-rc.d to enable a service during rc 0 or 6, so I wouldn't worry much about that. You can read the output of the update-rc.d command while it builds to insure that's not happening when you do this. > > -- > Tzafrir Cohen > icq#16849755 jabber:tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com > +972-50-7952406 mailto:tzafrir.cohen@xorcom.com > http://www.xorcom.com iax:guest@local.xorcom.com/tzafrir -- Thanks: Joseph Rawson
