You know how if you do an improper shutdown and then boot up, the server prompts you to run a file system check if you press "Y" within 5 seconds? Well, this is great but sometimes not practical in remote access situations when we call our datacenter to say reboot a hang server and they have no monitor or keyboard hooked up to the system. Is there a way to have the system forced to automatically fo the filesystem check every time it boots up, if there's a need for it, ie: WITHOUT hitting "Y"?
I couldn't find the answer to this one in docs or FAQs. If I missed it, a simple pointer to the source would be of great help.
Thank you,

You create the following file:
/etc/sysconfig/autofsck
and place the following in it:
AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=5 AUTOFSCK_DEF_CHECK=yes
If a problem is encountered during the fsck, will the system automagically fix it?
