That will never happen, of course, for the > very precise reason of /dev being the way it is, and, more importantly, why. It's called running a script with a few second delay from rc.local :-). I used to create a /dev/dvd link that way till I finally found all the settings in user program that had "dev/dvd" stored in them and changed them to /dev/sr0 :-). Of course systemd has made it virtually impossible to background anything in rc.local, my rc.local now looks like #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/at -M now <<'HERE' > /dev/null 2>&1 /etc/rc.d/the-real-rc.local HERE And everything I used to run in rc.local now gets run from the-real-rc.local, untouched by systemd meddling (resistance it futile, you will be assimilated). _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
