[SSI-users] Re: rc.sysrecover

[David B. Z. <dav...@hp...>]

There is a special line in /etc/inittab which is supposed to be executed 
when it /sbin/init is run with the -r option.  The kernel starts a new 
init with the -r option only when doing a root failover.  It should NOT 
be getting run during a standard cold boot or node join.

siR:R:sysinit:/etc/rc.d/rc.sysrecover < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1

The second R is a special SSI designation, which normally excludes this 
script from running except during "Recovery".  I haven't notice any 
problem in Rehdat as far as getting run at the wrong time.
