Which order for scripts in /root/Startup

[Sathors]

Hello there !

I'm rather new to lucid puppy, and I have one question about scripts that I put in /root/Startup.

Are they executed in a certain order ?
Is there an alphabetical order or something ?
How can I find it by myself ?
Is there a logfile where everything is written during boot ?

Because my puppy is on a usb key and I have to mount a data partition during boot-up, and the other scripts require that this very partition is mounted first.
For the moment it seems to work but I would like to know.

Thank you very much for your help, and forgive me for my bad english.

Good day !

Try this:
Bring up the terminal

Code: Select all

cd Startup
ls *

I believe that the order the scripts get listed is the order that they get done.

For absolute control write one script to call the other scripts in order of execution. Of course you would have to move the other scripts out of /root/Startup.

Thank you for the answers !

Do you think that the execution of these scripts is triggered by the init script in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit ?
And by the way why are there so many scripts in /etc/rc.d ?
Which ones are launched and which ones aren't ?

I'll have a look at it to check wether it uses a ls *.

it is the "*" part that matters

consider the command:

Code: Select all

for AA in * ; do 
echo "bla bla $AA" 
done

This will list the files with "bla bla" in front of each. You can use a structure like this to run all the scripts in another directory.

Hi all:

Does anybody know offhand where the code is that handles the ~/Startup directory on bootup? I'm just curious, because I skimmed through a bunch of scripts, but probably missed it - or is it hardcoded in a binary?

The scripts in "/root/Startup/" are run by this script "/usr/sbin/delayedrun".
