I like this idea, however it has a major caveat: Assuming the shutdown scripts remove said file (and the boot scripts create said file), what happens in the event that the disk was umount'ed uncleanly? For example, a power failure (I know, that's what UPSs are for, but lets ignore that for a second). If the system is configured to automatically boot after a power failure, the @reboot cron script wont run (since the said file still exists...). _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
