 Posted: Mon Sep 07, 2020 4:47 pm Post subject: [Solved] Init script after login screen |
 |
|
I have a problem with one of my init scripts in the default runvel.
The system is a system without a graphical interface.
The init script starts after local.
Inside the inti script there are a series of sleeps, the problem is that until the init script finishes the sleeps the system doesn't get to the login screen.
Isn't there a way to start the script after the login screen?
no after login, but after the login screen.

The problem is, the processes that make the login screen appear (agetty) are controlled by sysvinit, not by OpenRC. And the line in /etc/inittab that makes OpenRC enter the default runlevel has a wait action, and comes before the agetty lines, for good reasons: in general, you want OpenRC to complete the boot process before you can log in.
It should be possible to have sysvinit run a script after OpenRC has started all services in the default runlevel, and in parallel with the agetty processes, but you configure that with a line in /etc/inittab, using the once action. I never tried that, though. |

Does something like this in your /etc/local.d/99_foo.start script helps?
| Code: | #/bin/bash
#
(
cmd1
sleep 23
cmd2
sleep 42
..
) & |

I do this on a couple machines. Not sure if this technique suits your purpose. Would work even if not an autologin.
| Code: | # /etc/bash/bashrc.d/tty6-startup
# /etc/inittab has an autologin on tty6
# After starting bash, but only on that specific tty, run screen
[ `tty` = /dev/tty6 ] && screen |

It also seems to work by inserting it into an init script.
type:

user="root:root"
depend() {
use alsasound
after local
}
_mystart() {
(
sleep 4
start1
sleep 6
start2
) &
}
start() {
ebegin "Starting ${SVCNAME}"
_mystart[/code]
eend $?
}
