Originally posted by webtoe Yes you told me that all those years ago when we started at this forum and I asked you whether you actually ever did any work (since you always answered posts before I got near them ).
Ah yes, I remember that.. Still currently bored at work as you can always tell. Oh well, at least members benefit me being bored I suppose..
Originally posted by webtoe I'm afraid I don't use Red Hat (and neither does TrickyKid last time I was here) but the rc.local is probably not the best one to choose since its the last one to be run. You'd have to check the documentation for red hat (they have a book online which I found by searching www.google.co.uk/linux for init scripts red hat ).
there are some excellent docs available at redhat.com, in the support/docs section. I remember one of the manuals listing startup scripts and sequences - the manuals are great resources for a newbie. check them out.
well, I need your help.
I deleted the tmp file like you said and now I can't boot into X.
What can I do?
Is there any way to get the tmp file back from the trash from the command line?
I can't remember where the trash bin is or what it's called.

What does your X11 log say about them errors?
Btw, I think what you want is the std "tmpwatch" package.
Did you delete the directory or everything in it? (Does /tmp get created automatically?) If you deleted the thing itself and it doesn't get recreated, that could be it.
And stuff only goes to the 'trash' if you delete it from an IDE, right? So if you were on the command line, there shouldn't be any trash.
