Hiall, As part of my prefered setup I like to have top running on a console when I boot my home pc. However, my attempts to get this task to happen have been invain. I tried to convince init to run it via an entry in /etc/ttys without success ( It would run but not display on the correct console, or init would respawn on the selected console too fast ). Next I tried a script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d which looks like: #!/bin/sh /usr/bin/top < /dev/ttyvb > /dev/ttyvb & echo -n " top" Whilst " top" is echoed, the top process seems to be killed by the time I get to log in. I believe I can put it in /etc/rc.local but would prefer to avoid this and get the init script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d/ to run it. I'm at a loss why it is killed/terminated. I know the process started as I've checked it's return value. But why doesn't it run?
