Run a script upon entering runlevel 2

[lapidu]

Hi Capricorny!

Interesting points. Is what you call the main filesystem the large KNOPPIX file? This appears to be the first thing that the init script mounts, hence Bash ought to be available prior to knoppix.sh execution, if what you think is correct.

I retrieved one of my original attempts, upon which I made the claim that some code worked in Bash but not at boot, and tested it again; it works correctly in a Bash terminal, likewise in root console post-boot (that is to say, after INIT enters runlevel 2), but is improperly implemented at boottime execution of knoppix.sh. Quite peculiar. If you are interested let me know and I'll post it.

Running /bin/busybox will list the functions defined in the BusyBox version installed on that workstation. As you say, these functions might not be shared by all versions of that program, and this is especially the case given the openness of GNU/Linux and associated software. Best practice entails specifying versions!

Now, a related question has emerged, and I'll post it next.
