Daemons....

haxit · 2008-09-16 19:08:39

Could I take out all my daemons except networking daemons, and put them into my autostart.sh file to start their?

I don't see any reason why you couldn't.
You can start daemons whenever you want. Adding them to DAEMONS array in rc.conf is just a way how to make it easier(more practical).

piotrk · 2008-09-16 19:23:39

which daemons?
from /etc/rc.d/ or /etc/rc.local?

tankmcp · 2008-09-16 19:35:14

I believe we are talking about the DAEMONS in the /etc/rc.conf
I find this to be an extremely great place to have them.

Yes I know, but I want to optimize time from boot to login. I have them as background now, but I was just wondering if this was possible. I just like to experiment

You'll just wait after you type your username and password... no difference at all...
I'd suggest to split them up - half at boot time the other half at login... You'll notice some speed improvement before login and it won't be that much waiting time after logging in.

can't you just put kdm|gdm before the other daemons?

kclive18 · 2008-09-16 23:28:32

Or you can background daemons in /etc/rc.conf by preceding them with the @ symbol.

Ye I had them background before. Its ok, I think my boot is fast enough

There's a difference, that in ./autostart you will have those daemons running under your user credentials. I don't know how good is that.

Also I added you on msn

Maybe he's going for a "most time spent on the computer" world record, in which case every second counts.
