I should only run after reboot. Basically I want to install the Xen3.2 rpm's on CentOS5.1 x64 after it's been installed via a kickstart file. The CentOS Xen kernel first needs to boot (thus a reboot after the installation), then install the new Xen3.2 rpm's, and reboot again. I'm sure this could then be done with a simple if statement to check if a certain file exists, say /firstboot; then execute it, if not just continues? /etc/rc.local is a file, is there any folders where I can add it to instead, from where I can the just self-delete it? is it safe to add it as say /etc/rc3.d/S99firstboot? -- Kind Regards Rudi Ahlers CEO, SoftDux Web: http://www.SoftDux.com Check out my technical blog, http://blog.softdux.com for Linux or other technical stuff, or visit http://www.WebHostingTalk.co.za for Web Hosting stuff
