(That may not be a descriptive title, but) I'm having a few minor problems. I tried to get the equivalent of a single user mode by putting a "/bin/sh" in /etc/rc right after the exec /bin/sh /etc/rc WINDOWED line (more accurately, right after the fi) so that the first thing this new shell would do is execute an interactive shell before bringing anything up. But: more fails to work on any file longer than one page (prints the first page then dies) setdate eats CPU time like mad, and in system mode (the death star icon stays up). DEL doesn't help, nor does ctrl-\. And, when I tried putting a /bin/ksh in earlier (first line, in fact) it seemed to hang when I exited ksh. Anyone know why/care to comment/have a better way of getting single user mode/anything? Michael p.s. Whats the difference between the two IPC drivers? : --- : Michael Gersten uunet.uu.net!denwa!stb!michael : sdcsvax!crash!gryphon!denwa!stb!michael : Coff Coff <=== Stop smoking.

This may not be the right answer -- I'm just taking a stab in the dark. Did you try putting in explicit I/O redirection? It's quite common for /etc/rc commands to need explicit redirection for all of file descriptors 0, 1 and 2. Try: /bin/sh < /dev/window > /dev/w1 2>&1 -- Jim Rosenberg CIS: 71515,124 decvax!idis! \ WELL: jer allegra! ---- pitt!amanue!jr BIX: jrosenberg uunet!cmcl2!cadre! /
