Lost a startup script... OoPs

Hooper · 06-13-2004, 06:58 PM

Hello,

I accidently renamed rc.inet1 to rc.inet1.conf and need to access the original rc.inet1 (not conf) from the cd. Can anyone tell me how to retrieve this?

This was a swaret booboo when trying to rename a .new file. Renamed the wrong darn one. Deleted the wrong one. Anyhow, I have a conf but I lost the inet1 script.

Please hurry if you will I'm out of Linux and logged into windows and I feel dirty.

Thank you,
Hooper

Why can't you just copy "rc.inet1.conf" back to "rc.inet1"?

It was removed. I was tired. It was 3 am. Renaming wouldn't give me the script back. I know I won't be swareting from 9.1 to current again when I'm that tired. No doubt about it. That's one thing about slackware, if your going to swaret....you're going to be working on some files. There were quite a few .new files this time. Current is coming along nicely.

Anyone? access /etc/rc.d/scripts from the iso's? If not possible, would someone post or email me the rc.inet1 script?

Well, I would imagine rc.inet1 is somewhere inside of the "etc-X.X-noarch" package.

You could just install the "etc-5.1-noarch-8" package from Slackware-Current, or else try to pull just rc.inet1 from the package on the CD.

That helps... I'll try that. I didn't know which package held the scripts. Donka... let me try that.

Hooper · 06-13-2004, 07:50 PM

Hmm. Didn't work. The startup scripts aren't in the etc-5.1-noarch-8 file. All that is there is just the /etc/. No /etc/rc.d/, /etc/rc.d/initd.

Any other ideas? The thought of reinstalling over a lost script doesn't sound to inviting.

Have a look through MANIFEST.bz2 on the slack install cd. That file lists every file in every package, so you can find what you're looking for

--Shade

PS- you'll need to decompress it, of course -- bunzip2 manifest.bz2

Actually that was the first thing I did before I posted. I couldn't find the startup scripts. Either I'm blind or they are in a package that doesn't list them?

Try looking in the tcpip-blah.tgz package.......

Hooper · 06-13-2004, 09:00 PM

Ok... Heading that way. Thank you.

For future reference, since the package was installed, to find out which package has a particular file:

Code:

$ cd /var/log/packages
$ grep etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 *
tcpip-0.17-i486-27:etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.conf.new
tcpip-0.17-i486-27:etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.new

Also, to extract a single file from a package (assuming the package is under /some/dir):

Code:

# cd /
# tar xfzp /some/dir/tcpip-0.17-i486-27.tgz etc/rc.d/rc.inet1.new

Another way is using the script from this thread.....................Use the one called 'whichpkg'..............it's what I used to find the pkg........
