Uhh, another case of XY problem http://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/66377/what-is-the-xy-problem > #!/bin/bash > sed -i '54d' /etc/inittab > echo "1:2345:respawn:/bin/login -f user tty1 </dev/tty1 >/dev/tty1 2>&1" >> /etc/inittab To accomplish what you want I would change /etc/inittab with a late_command, *but* the commands above are not really safe: 1. you rely on the specific format of /etc/inittab 2. your script is not indempotent, just think what happens if you run it several times 3. sed can do the change in one go ;) This should work (all in one line): sed -i -e 's,1:2345:respawn:\/sbin\/getty 38400 tty1,1:2345:respawn:\/bin/login -f user tty1 <\/dev\/tty1 >\/dev\/tty1 2>&>1,' /etc/inittab Kind regards, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
