Well, just my two cents: There are other (IMHO) legitmiate uses for rc.local _except_ starting daemons. For example I (mis)use it to tweak flashcache settings after booting is complete or on my Raspberry Pi (used DLNA media renderer) to play a jingle to indicate "boot complete, you may now interact".... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
