Tony,

No script required:

# shutdown -Fr now

However, I'm the kinda person what would hang around for that particular hour!, I'd then shag off after that :)

Is there anyway to automate the following (all from one script):

 Boot to single-user mode (or whatever is required)
 run fsck
 reboot back to level 5 (or 3)

so that you can kick it off, go away, come back an hour or so later and it'll all be done (via IP)?

It depends if the partition you aare running fsck on is mounted in single user mode. You can't run fsck on a mounted disk. -- ======================================================================= I want the presidency so bad I can already taste the hors d'oeuvres. ======================================================================= Aaron Konstam telephone: (210) 656-0355 e-mail: akonstam@sbcglobal.net

Hi

I would tend to set a flag checked by a utility inserted in the run level one startup. The script would then be able to accomplish the whole thingl

Have Fun!

Er, a simple script:

#!/bin/bash touch /.autofsck reboot

will do it. The system looks for /.autofsck when it boots. If it finds it, it fscks the filesystems, then deletes /.autofsck. Check the main startup script "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" for details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer rps2@nerd.com - - Hosting Consulting, Inc. - - - - Lottery: A tax on people who are bad at math. - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
