start syslog
I'm running a hard drive intall of Knoppix and really liking it. I notice that by default it doesn't look like the system log starts automatically - they have GUI button to start it. I'd like for it to start each time I start the machine. I could put it in my user autostart folder for KDE but the commmand needs root. Where can I put the command elsewhere in the system such that it runs on each boot?

The S or K tell the computer to start or stop the service, and the 90 or 10 gives the priority compared to the other files in the directory. On Debian based systems, the right way to do this is to apt-get the sysklog package, then make sure the links are created. The only problem I see is if Knoppix does not allow changing items in the /etc directory. If so, this becomes a lot harder. |
know nothing about knoppix accept it's debian sortof
i forget debian boot structure exactly so take this as general put a link to the boot script in you runlevel folder lets see you find your default run level by reading /etc/inittab there is a line like this id:3:initdefault: that means run level 3 so the link goes in the rc3.d folder name the link S10sysklogd in other words have it be the lowest number in the folder S is for Start and it points to /init.d/sysklogd script -- the script might be called anything it calles syslogd and klogd (the log daemons) or they might be seperate called from seperate scripts if i remember right debian uses some cool little executables in /sbin to do some of the bootscript stuff so if knopix doesn't come with boot scripts get some debian ones from somewhere red hat like boot scripts won't work you will also have to make kill links in rc0.d and rc6.d halt and reboot i would make those K40sysklogd the names don't matter ! but the numbers get called in order and just run the script that the link points to man ln to read how to make links (ln -s <target> <linkname>) don't mix up target and linkname or you erase stuff test the scripts by running them as root by hand before you subject your boot to them ! test the kill as well. just to make sure they work and don't hang or complain if you write them yourself make sure they are executable (chmod 755) |
Great
Thanks! I'll post back with how it went.
