Hello My mistake, I did forget to append & to the commands, I'll try that on next reboot. However mounting via console as I mentioned hangs on the second command; they are both identical, the second one just refers to another share on the same machine. The end result is they are both mounted correctly of course, but I have to ctrl-c out of it. Very strange, I won't bust my head over it if it works through rc.local.. #!/bin/sh # # This script will be executed *after* all the other init scripts. # You can put your own initialization stuff in here if you don't # want to do the full Sys V style init stuff. touch /var/lock/subsys/local # Mount SMB shares mount -t smbfs -o username=*****,password=*****,uid=500 //fs1/storage1 /mnt/storage1 # mount -t smbfs -o username=*****,password=*****,uid=500 //fs1/storage2 /mnt/storage2 # lm_sensors # modprobe i2c-i801 # modprobe w83781d On Fri, 2003-05-23 at 07:57, ddembrow@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: > Y Makki: > > It is hard to tell what is wrong without a sample rc.local script file. > However, I suspect the commands being executed with rc.local script are not > being run as a background task so the script waits for the command to > return and it never does. > > Original message: > >Hello again > > > >Something I just tried which I think is worth mentioning, mounting from > >the console does work fine, except the mount command hangs on the second > >smb mount I try.
