Command on Start up

[Holland1994]

I have one last question though, how to implent a start up command like: sudo modprobe p54pci.
I put it in my rc.local, but it woudn't work.
This is how it looks like:

Code: Select all

CODE: SELECT ALL
#!/bin/sh -e                                                                        
#                                                                                  
# rc.local                                                                          
#                                                                                  
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.                    
# Make sure that the script will “exit 0″ on success or any other                  
# value on error.                                                                  
#                                                                                  
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution              
# bits.                                                                            
#                                                                                  
# By default this script does nothing.                                              
                                                                                   
sudo modprobe p54pci

Any suggestions?

1/ sudo will not work here (rc.local is already executed by root)
2/ in order to load modules on demand you only have to complete the file "/etc/modules" with the additional module names (i.e p54pci) you want to load at boot time, one per line

Hi thanks for your reply.

I added the code modprobe p54pci, but nothing happens when I reboot the computer; I still have to manually load the wifi modules in the terminal.
Here is my code:

Code: Select all

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

lp
modprobe 8139too
modprobe 8139too
modprobe 8139too
modprobe p54pci

This should then read:

Code: Select all

    # /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
    #
    # This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
    # at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

   lp
   8139too
   p54pci

No command line there, these are parameters.

Thanks, that worked
