Is there a framework for executing once a script at next reboot in Debian (Sarge|Sid)? Any idea of a "clean" way to do it?
Thanks
One comment, it is rather "Not the Linux Way(TM)" to expect reboots. Only things like changing the kernel should need a reboot.
Well, let me explain then: I'm working on a customized Debian distro, and on a replication engine (Replicator) for machines. I would like some things to happen next time the machine is powered on, because the people who install it would like to have to wait the less possible. I imagined that we would finish the installation (probably unattended) and the system would reboot at the end (because 1/ there *is* probably a newer kernel, and for whatever reason, 2/ GDM does not start automatically after being installed). I would like the system to do things in the background at next reboot, like running prelink, scrollkeeper-rebuilddb, updatedb, ... You get the idea...
no.
if there is a new kernel then reboot is neccessary.
the services can be simply started. Rebooting machine because you need to start gdm is weird to the extreme. I mean do you reboot your machine to start vi? grep? ls?
