Part of my kickstart install involves creating a custom rc.local file which installs some software when it runs after the first reboot, it deletes itself at the end so it's only run once. My rc.local looks like this (editted for brevity): [CODE] #!/bin/sh clear echo " Post-Install Setup " echo " " rpm -ivh /root/mycustom.rpm #restore original rc.local mv -f /etc/rc.d/rc.local /etc/rc.d/rc.local_custom cp /etc/rc.d/rc.local.orig /etc/rc.d/rc.local echo " Install FINISHED! " echo " Press ENTER to reboot " read X reboot exit 0 [/CODE] The script works fine and installs my rpm properly. The only issue I have is when I leave the computer when this runs, I get autologoffed after awhile. Rather than coming back to see a "Press ENTER to reboot" message awaiting my input, I only see the console login screen (the computer is set to run level 3 BTW). The screen was cleared as well so I don't see any output from my script. I estimate I get logged off after 1-2 hours. I need to check the output from my script so it's important I don't get logged off. In addition, after I enter a login name and press enter at the login prompt, the computer will reboot itself as the reboot command from my rc.local script is still waiting to be executed. How can I turn off this autologoff feature when running this rc.local script? Also when the rc.local is run, does it use the profile of the root user? I checked the shell config files and don't see TMOUT or autologout set. Just to be safe, I tried adding the following lines before read X in my rc.local script but I was still logged out: TMOUT=0 unset autologout Any ideas? Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
