net.eth1 init script

Hello all,

I'm not sure if this would be the correct place to post this question... but during my install i was a bonehead and deleted the net.eth0 init scripts when configuring my network.

I was wondering if there was a way to generate these scripts again so's i can do an rc-update and run them at startup. I read quite a bit about writing init scripts but it's just a bit over my head...I could certainly spend more time doing that but...if there is a command that would generate these scripts off my conf.d/net file or something like that I would love to know.

Thanks for any help

Andy

The net.eth? scripts are all the same. They actually read the config options from the conf.d/net file. So all you have to is to restore this script.

if you have deleted the net.* scripts then just emerge baselayout to get them back.

Ok... that sounds easy enough...

ocbMaurice: How would i go about restoring those scripts? sorry i'm a bit of a noob... It's good to know what that script actually does though thanks for explaining

Maletek: Same thing... i'm a bit new to all the inner working of linux and expecially gentoo... should i $> emerge system ? or is there a emerge option for just the networking stuff... again sorry, i'm just a bit unfamiliar.

Guess it's back to the tutorial books and such for some more reading...*whew* my tiny little brain is learning too much too quick :-)

Thanks for your help guys,

Andy

ha ha ha...I'm a retard.. sorry.

I really do appriciate all you guys who are more knowledgable than the rest of us, helping out and actually reading our problems that stem out of ignorance.... such as...

"I didn't know that "baselayout" was a option for the emerge command" :-)

I do deserve a RTMF!!!! Thanks anyway all!

"Baselayout is just the init scripts and base config. Worst you'll have to do is reset some things in rc.conf. "
