This recently came up on this list: <http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=83142+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2009/freebsd-questions/20090510.freebsd-questions> To do this during at the end of rc stage take hints from /etc/rc.d/syscons, the rc(8) manpage and rcorder(8) about when to launch this script. Ideally you want to REQUIRE what the last script reported by rcorder PROVIDEs and possibly delay execution a bit (see /etc/rc.d/bgfsck for an example of that), since you can't really hook into the "login prompt is now displayed" event. Also, if you want the console to stay the same, you will need to configure /etc/syslog.conf and change the line that sends to /dev/console to send it to /var/log/console.log. newsyslog.conf(5) is already configured to rotate that log. -- Mel _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
