Title: How to avoid the timesetting after reboot?
Post by: bb on January 31, 2004, 08:21:18 am: Is it possible to avoid that the Date/Time dialog shows up after a reboot of a SL-C860?

Best regards,
bb

I donÂ´t experience that the system time is wrong after reboot. I just get the Time/Date dialog, which is unnecessary, since the time is correct.

Seems to be hardcoded somewhere as I\'ve been unable to find a script that calls the sate/time app.

BTW - how often are you rebooting? I haven\'t rtebooted for aver 3 weeks now - the last time due to mistakenly installing a OZ gcc3 ipk and crashing the Z.

IÂ´m not rebooting because of any *real*l problems. I was experimenting with the Linux setup. Among other things I tried getting the /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc.local script to run at boot. I didnÂ´t succeed in doing that. Have you got a hint?

Yeah, it took me a while to find, but you need to edit /root/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit, it\'s an exact copy of the rc.sysinint in /etc/rc.d but it seems that the one in /etc/rc.d isn\'t run for some reason.

About 3/4 of the way down there is a commented section dealing with running /etc/rc.d/rc.local, uncomment this section and /etc/rc.d/rc.local will be run at boot time.
