unfortunately this doesn't catch stderr (not sure why &> or wasn't used, must be that "| tee /dev/null &>" problem... but then again, I doubt the bootup is a "tail -f" output :^)) I would put a sleep 20 at the top of various /etc/rcS.d/ programs. If the problem is re "fstab" then a delay in /etc/rcS.d/S40hostname.sh might be appropriate. then you can see the prob at boot ;-) // George -- GEORGE GEORGALIS, System Admin/Architect cell: 347-451-8229 Security Services, Web, Mail, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Multimedia, DB, DNS and Metrics. http://www.galis.org/george -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
