Please post your OS and version. Also, is the example given,
Quote:
action $"Mounting proc filesystem: " mount -n -t proc /proc /proc
the one that is failing or is it some other line? Please provide the line that is failing and explain
Quote:
But this is not working in my shells..
- as the boot process running a shell script is not the same as a user running a shell script after the system is up.

Also see rc.sysinit script

here is it, partner... action is a function defined on /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

Code:
# Run some action. Log its output.
action() {
  STRING=$1
  echo -n "$STRING "
  shift
  initlog $INITLOG_ARGS -c "$*" && success $"$STRING" || failure $"$STRING"
  rc=$?
  echo
  return $rc
}
I've found this on a RedHat 7.1, I'm pretty sure that is the same on your RH9
