Actually, putting
tst1:12345:wait:/mydir/myprogram
after the Run Level r6:6:wait:/etc/rc.d/rcS 6 line in etc/inittab
seems to work quite well so far, including network connectivity.
So, since this approach isn't proper, how do you recommend handling
unattended bootup the "right" way? Seriously, not being able to boot
and execute a program without login would make the TS-7200 unusable
for most embedded applications. So how about it folks at TS, what's
the proper proceedure here?
Thanks,
Henry
