[Dan Jacobson] > How do I ensure xdm only starts after /etc/rc.local is finished?
Well, there are several ways to do this, but I will limit myself to one of them. I assume you start with these headers, which are the current ones in unstable: ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: xdm # Required-Start: $local_fs $remote_fs # Required-Stop: $local_fs $remote_fs # Should-Start: xfs $named slapd hal # Should-Stop: xfs $named slapd hal # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 ### END INIT INFO ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: rc.local # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $all # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: # Short-Description: Run /etc/rc.local if it exist ### END INIT INFO You say you want rc.local to run earlier, so you could change its header to look like this to move it before xdm. ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: rc.local # Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog # X-Start-Before: xdm # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: # Short-Description: Run /etc/rc.local if it exist ### END INIT INFO Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
