• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description CBke -Left- bye 2003-09-09 04:47:22 UTC]

when defining more tty's in /etc/inittab the /etc/init.d/numlock is "difficult" 
to change


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.add more tty's in /etc/inittab
2.killall -HUP init
3.souce /etc/init.d/numlock
4./etc/init.d/numlock restart




a beter way to do this is:

Why set it for tty0 ?

[Comment 3 CBke -Left- bye 2003-10-13 15:36:59 UTC]

ignore the tty0 that is not the id behind the patch

[Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-10-13 17:02:30 UTC]

Added to CVS.
