Permissions for /etc/rc.d/rc.local

same result. I am going to delet my current rc.local and start over. Maybe that will work.

EDIT: No dice on that either. At this point it's comical.

yeah, but if the script works ok when you run it from the cli after booting,
and when called at boottime it doesn't, the script is okidoki.
the only thing that has changed is time.
( it's the last script in the row )

try " sleep 30 " or so...
( you can reduce it in steps to find the limit if it works )

Did you give the full path to adsl-start ?

Code:

echo "Starting ADSL Services... "
/usr/sbin/adsl-start

Or you can use a loop like :

Code:

echo "Starting ADSL Services... "
(while ! /usr/sbin/adsl-start; do
    sleep 5
done) &

Note that (...)& syntax will execute the loop in
background to not block the boot process

Or use debug mode to see what's wrong

Code:

echo "Starting ADSL Services... "
DEBUG=1 /usr/sbin/adsl-start
