I used up2date and got a bunch of RH rpm's. All went well, but for one note: [root@localhost up2date]# rpm -Uvh --test initscripts-4.70-1.i386.rpm [root@localhost up2date]# rpm -Uvh initscripts-4.70-1.i386.rpm warning: /etc/rc.d/rc.local created as /etc/rc.d/rc.local.rpmnew initscripts ################################################## [root@localhost up2date]# which resulted in: -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 986 Nov 21 17:54 rc.local -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 933 Sep 30 11:40 rc.local.rpmnew looking at the 2 files: [root@localhost rc.d]# diff rc.local rc.local.rpmnew 17c17 < NUMPROC=`grep -cl "^cpu[0-9]+" /proc/stat` --- > NUMPROC=`egrep -c "^cpu[0-9]+" /proc/stat` 36,40d35 < < # ***** added by mjb ***** < < /usr/local/bin/soundon < Note: other rc files that I have NOT edited have a date of 'Nov 30'. Weird that the file I DID edit has a date earlier than the rc files I haven't touched?! Seeing that the new file, 'rc.local.rpmnew', has an earlier date than either the original rc files or 'rc.local', I'm tempted to leave 'rc.local' as is. Do you think I should change 'rc.local', using egrep instead of grep? Other ideas? Thanx - Martin J.
