Re: linux automatic logging and automatic script execution

thanks a lots for the answer indeed that was inittab (my mistake for initrd
twice).

Now (thaks to you) I know exactly where to set up things (as busybox
doesn't support runlevel by default I'll try to write something in inittab).

thanks a lot

after kernel loads thus I haven't got to use the terminal to logging and

does anyone has got a clue where I should look to set this option (I

it might be around /etc/initrd but I'm not sure).

Hi Florent,

You might be thinking of the file /etc/inittab or /etc/init.d/.  These
file(s) control what process are started by /sbin/init in different
run-levels.  Look at "man init" on a Linux system for more info, or read the
documentation for the version of init on the system.  That should enable you
to start whatever you want on bootup.

If init is too heavyweight you can start any other application with the
the init= kernel parameter, but that's probably not recommended unless you
know what you are doing.

Chris.
