Say, is there a catchall equivalent in Debian of the rc.local file?
Once again I'm trying to interpret a recommendation from the TrinityOS
HOWTO on setting up security. He suggests putting:
dmesg >> /etc/info/dmesg
at the end of the rc.local file, which presumably executes last in a
RedHat system. Is there a better way to accomplish this anyway.
You can create a file in /etc/init.d and then put the above command
inside. There is already a skeleton file in the directory, you can just
copy it down.
cp /etc/init.d/sekeleton /etc/init.d/dmesg-backup
(edit the file and put the command in the "start)" block)
update-rc.d dmesg-backup start 99 2 3 4 5 .
Don't forget to edit the DAEMON variable in the startup script (just put
"dmesg").
The update-rc.d just means that the dmesg-backup script will be started
last (ie: 99) and on 2,3,4,5 init levels.
