rc.sysinit rc.sysinit.author

[Sleeper]

Do all known versions of Tivos call rc.sysinit.author from rc.sysinit?

I only have a series 2's.

My Dtivo S1 with 3.1.0 does. Can't speak for the other versions.

Don't forget to chmod +x the .author file and put it on both / partitions

Gee. Thanks for that advice. I would have never known to do that!

no need to put it on both partitions, that is just a step suggested by guide writers cause the writers are lazy or trying to cope with more varaibles, putting it on both does nothing that putting it on just the right one would do.

If .author is the same as rc.sysinit, what is it for? :confused:

If .author is the same as rc.sysinit, what is it for? :confused:It's not the same. rc.sysinit executes first, after which rc.sysinit.author executes (if present & having executable permissions)...
