Trouble Auto-starting DNET client in Linux

[flippinfleck]

Running RH 7.1 (2.4.xxx) on my Abit board. I followed the directions as per Team Anandtech FAQ: Dnet Client In Linux but still cannot get it to autostart.

It starts fine if I type /usr/local/bin/dnetc -ini /var/dnetc/dnetc.ini -noquiet >> /dev/tty8 & but still no autostart.

Any suggestions?

You have to edit your bootup scripts, I'll get back to you from school sometime later today... just gotta keep it up on the list first 😉

I know little about Red Hat, but you'll probably want to add the line:

/usr/local/bin/dnetc -ini /var/dnetc/dnetc.ini -noquiet >> /dev/tty8 &

to your rc.local or equivilant (I use Slackware, and I'd put that line in /etc/rc.d/rc.local)

Actually, I did put that line in my /etc/rc.d/rc.local file as per the Faq Instructions...

<< Now to get it to start when Linux boots up: Edit /etc/rc.d/rc.local, I used pico: (pico /etc/rc.d/rc.local) Place the following line's somewhere near the bottom of this file:

# DNET client
echo "Starting DNET client"
/usr/local/bin/dnetc -ini /var/dnetc/dnetc.ini -quiet

Or better yet, instead of the above line, you can redirect the output to a virtual terminal:

/usr/local/bin/dnetc -ini /var/dnetc/dnetc.ini -noquiet >> /dev/tty8 & >>

Keep in mind that this was all done as root, so there shouldn't be a problem. But alas, it still does not load at startup.

The echo "Starting DNET client" line is visible upon startup, but there is nothing on tty8.

Anyone running RH perhaps that has an idea or two?
