Hi Folks,
I sumbled across a problem I am not able to solve myself: I want to
start kdm automatically at boot time. However, my solution does not
work. Here are the pieces:
sold@mero-13a[local/etc/rc.d]> ls -alF
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Oct 23 16:27 ./
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 1024 Oct 14 02:07 ../
-r-xr-x--x 1 root wheel 81 Aug 30 18:29 kdm.sh*
sold@mero-13a[local/etc/rc.d]> cat kdm.sh
#!/bin/sh
if [ -x /usr/local/bin/kdm ] ; then
#sleep for some time to give getty a chance to grab its ttys
(echo -n " kdm"; sleep 12; kdm 2>&1 > /var/log/kdm.startup)&
fi
exit 0
sold@mero-13a[local/etc/rc.d]> uname -a
FreeBSD mero-13a.merowingia.uni-kl.de 3.3-STABLE FreeBSD 3.3-STABLE #5: Sun Sep 26 09:41:55 CEST 1999 sold@mero-14a.merowingia.uni-kl.de:/usr/src/sys/compile/CHEASY-STABLE i386
When booting, this script does nothing after it has printed " kdm".
When invoked from any root shell, it starts kdm just fine.
Any ideas most welcome.
