I'm attempting to setup rootsh on Solaris 10 to log the activity of users who require root access. However it does not appear to be sourcing root's .profile file even when run with the '-i' option. I was wondering if anybody else has run into this and might have a solution.

The .profile file should be read when the user logs in. So, there should be no need to execute .profile file again in a cron job (since the cron job is run after the user logs in). Doesn't the cron require login from the user. Then, from where does the cron execute? Please help!! (1 Reply)

update-metainit
UPDATE-METAINIT(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation UPDATE-METAINIT(1)
NAME
update-metainit - Generates init scripts
SYNOPSIS
update-metainit [--remove initname [--purge] ]
DESCRIPTION
Metainit solves the problem of writing good init scripts. Instead of manually creating these important files, they are derived from a
declaritive description in the metainit files in /etc/metainit. These files can be shipped with packages or created by the local adminis-
trator.
If update-metainit called without argument, it will regenerate init scripts for all the files in /etc/metainit. The generated files contain
a large warning in form of a comment that they will be overridden. Modifications are preferably done in the files in /etc/metainit and made
effective by running update-metainit. If needed, the administrator can prevent modified init files by removing the warning comment.
OPTIONS
--remove initname
This command will remove any generated and non-modified scripts that were created by the metainit file with the name initname.
--purge
Only usable with --remove. Will remove the generated files even if modified.
