OK I take it back, it wasn't egg just my face after all. mike@/deb40a:~> cat /etc/rc.local #!/bin/sh # /deb40a/etc/rc.local just for testing Feb 9 2009 echo "running /deb40a/etc/rc.local " $(date) > /root/rc.local.running mike@/deb40a:~> ls -l /etc/rc.local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 137 Feb 14 06:46 /etc/rc.local after rebooting there is no /root/rc.local.running root@/deb40a:~> ls /root/rc.local.running ls: /root/rc.local.running: No such file or directory root@/deb40a:~> grep -R rc.local /etc/* only shows the call in /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh that I put there to call my /root/bin/rc.local and the contents of the above mentioned /etc/rc.local that I just generated which doesn't get executed. So my questions to you who have an installed /etc/rc.local are which package did it come from and how does it get executed?
