Just an idea: since the shell doesn't differentiate between a command and a function, move the whole line to a function, and let action() execute that.

Dear all,
I typed in init 1 on my redhat box as root and according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runlevel):
1 Single-User Mode Does not configure network interfaces, start daemons, or allow non-root logins
So now I can't connect back to it. How do I change the init back to 3?... (8 Replies)

What is the difference between 'init s' and 'init 1'.
I know that both will work to change the current run level to single user mode.
Is there any difference in those two commands? (5 Replies)

I am experiencing a weird thing on my SUNFIRE machine with Solaris 9 OS.
When I do init 0 to shutdown the machine to go to ok prompt, what it did was shutdown and reboot like an init 6 command do. I did check the corresponding rc scripts that were involved with init 0 and compared with rc... (2 Replies)

I'm looking into a Solaris(S10) startup problem, with a script configured to run in /etc/rc3.d.

Hello All,
I copied and pasted the "/etc/init.d/skeleton" file to a new one so I could create my own init script for a program.
Basically the ONLY edit I made to the skeleton "template" so far was to search and replace "FOO" with "snort".
*NOTE: I know there are a bunch of snort init scripts... (6 Replies)

This is what I did:
1. I wrote a simple init.d script (myscript.sh)
2. I placed it under /etc/init.d (where many other default scripts already are)
3. Set the perms to 755
4. Run: update-rc.d myscript.sh defaults
I can run it perfectly by doing:

OPENVT(1) Linux 1.x OPENVT(1)
NAME
openvt - start a program on a new virtual terminal (VT).
SYNOPSIS
openvt [-c vtnumber] [-s] [-u] [-l] [-v] [--] command command_options
DESCRIPTION
openvt will find the first available VT, and run on it the given command with the given command options, standard input, output and error
are directed to that terminal. The current search path ($PATH) is used to find the requested command. If no command is specified then the
environment variable $SHELL is used.
OPTIONS
-c vtnumber
Use the given VT number and not the first available. Note you must have write access to the supplied VT for this to work.
-e Directly execute the given command, without forking. This option is meant for use in /etc/inittab.
-s Switch to the new VT when starting the command. The VT of the new command will be made the new current VT.
-u Figure out the owner of the current VT, and run login as that user. Suitable to be called by init. Shouldn't be used with -c or -l.
-l Make the command a login shell. A - is prepended to the name of the command to be executed.
-v Be a bit more verbose.
-w wait for command to complete. If -w and -s are used together then openvt will switch back to the controlling terminal when the com-
mand completes.
-- end of options to openvt.
NOTE
If openvt is compiled with a POSIX (GNU) getopt() and you wish to set options to the command to be run, then you must supply the end of
options -- flag before the command.
EXAMPLES
openvt can be used to start a shell on the next free VT, by using the command:
openvt bash
To start the shell as a login shell, use:
openvt -l bash
To get a long listing you must supply the -- separator:
openvt -- ls -l
HISTORY
Earlier, openvt was called open. It was written by Jon Tombs <jon@gtex02.us.es or jon@robots.ox.ac.uk>. The -w idea is from "sam".
