Source Code?

HappyDude · 08-01-2003, 01:00 AM

Ok, a lil while ago I asked about editing the shutdown script. With some help I finally found it and edited it, except with one problem. My computer no longer halts, reboots, or shuts down. If anyone knows where to find the source code for shutdown please tell me! Im running RH8 if you didnt already notice...

i am pretty sure i recognize your name, and if i am not mistaking you were asking about editing shutdown, and you said something about Termite instead of terminating.....so if my mind is faulty and you are not the same person then disregard my post, but if you are, why don't you search the site for the thread?!?

well i couldn't resist and i had to do it to show you how easy it was, and it was in fact you that i remembered asking the question.

Ok they are two different subjects so I decided to create a new thread. They are different because one is about editing it well the other is restoring it. But yeah, that was me.

What does that mean (or do)? Sorry, I'm a complete novice.

It means try typing that in at a text console. You should do this as root, before you try your program. Basically it loads the APM modules (Linux speak for drivers).

It comes up with an error saying:

Code:

modprobe: Can't locate module apm

and if i try modprobe \* then it comes up with kernal errors about speedstep.o, anyone have any other ideas or URLs to the original sourcecode?

It doesnt need apm or acpi to reboot so if its not rebooting then something is wrong.

What happens when you type.

# reboot

error? weird message? what?

If I say halt, reboot (I dont believe the "#" works well in redhat), or shutdown it says:

Code:

Segmentation Fault

Well I just overwrote RH 8 for RH 9 (BIG MISTAKE!!!!) and now it shuts down fine becuase the script is dead. Sadly though the new ones binary too...
