Hi, Can someone please suggest a way to accomplish the following. (I am not necessarily looking for the answer, but pointer to the best approach to the following, suggestion of urls or books would be very helpful) Upon power up (at the end of power up), I would like to load some drivers that I have written. Test if the driver loaded successfully (I know how to do this). If successful, update a file (like a counter). Then reboot automatically. I would like to do this about 100 times. Do I need to use cron for this? If so, how and where do I place the code? Or do I just need to change the boot up script? If so, how and where? Thanks in advance, Ahmed. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Friends. Fun. Try the all-new Yahoo!
