rc.local file question
Hi,

I putted the following code in my rc.local file:
Code:
logf=/tmp/rc.local.log
if [ -x /usr/sbin/pppd ]
then
  echo Start >> $logf
  /usr/sbin/pppd nodetach debug call internet >> $logf
  echo Stop >> $logf
  ping -c 1 google.com >> $logf
fi

But after login rhere was no rc.local.log file in my temp folder:
Code:
[ user@lenovo-y510ka Tue 28 Apr 2009 07:37:08 PM MSD ]
/home/user # ls -la /tmp/rc.local.*
ls: cannot access /tmp/rc.local.*: No such file or directory

Can anyone tell me what I did wrong?..

Not sure (plain Debian here), but I'd
- read through /var/log/daemon.log [1];
- <and/or> use pppd's logfile option [2].
