Hi I want to alter some sysctl's during boot time, and, of course I could do it via the sysctl configuration file itself, but I want to do some "for f in .. done" and some "echo"ing.
Since I want to do this during boot time, I thought I would put it in /etc/init.d/, but since it is a script not installed by a .deb package, I wondered if there is some better place to put user affiliated scripts. Second, policy would make one add some "start/stop/..." logic to the scripts started via rcX, what would I want to put in "stop" etc., since it would not be possible to restore original sysctl values, besides I don't want them to alter anyway, I want them to stay after boot time. Just some dummy entry doing nothing? I hope someone can help me figure this out, or point me to some stuff I can RTFM (or to some more apprropriate list, since this is not very -powerpc related, but I didn't want to ask on -devel). -- Best wishes, Andi
