How to avoid the timesetting after reboot?
« 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,

I wish the C series devices kept a system battery for keeping the time correct inbetween reboots
I'm now an iphone user and use my zaurii as serial terminals, perl and shell scripting and when I need 640x480 screens

I don´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.

I think that they are assuming that the only time you will want to reboot is if something hangs the Z, in this case your time may need to be adjusted.

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.

I´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 didn´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.
