 |
|
I've been playing with the latest splashutils, the text feature to be exact. I got it to display fortunes on the silent splash screen but the command used ("fortune" in this example) is executed every time the screen is repainted, that means my fortune changes quite often during boot  so i figured i can put some script that would create a fortune file (like /etc/fortune) and then put "cat /etc/fortune" in my theme configuration.
The question is - where do i put and how do i construct the script generating the file in order for it to be run first during boot or last druing shutdown?

well maybe try it and put an command like
| Code: | | echo `fortune` >> /etc/fortune |
to your /etc/conf.d/local.stop
then:
| Code: | | rc-update add local default |
not quite sure if you are getting what you want, or if it'll repaint the same message all over .. |

Thanks, this does what i want, although the script gets executed a bit early and the fortune changes somewhere in the 1/3 of the shutdown process, is it possible to do that later?
