>Description:
Be care full with /etc/rc.d change and /etc/rc.local.


/etc/rc.local seems to be supported by /etc/rc.d system, but it
needs much care for migration.


1. Old /etc/rc.local was supposed to execute on start up stage only.
2. /etc/rc.d/local execute /etc/rc.local under the new frame work,
   so it executed on start up and shutdown stage.


Then /etc/rc.local needs to change into check the stage by itself.
Easiest way is insert 4 line in the begining of /etc/rc.local like bellow:


--- rc.local.orig	Tue Apr  4 00:48:00 2000
+++ rc.local	Tue Apr  4 00:48:15 2000
@@ -6,6 +6,10 @@
 # It is intended to be edited locally to add site-specific boot-time
 # actions, such as starting locally installed daemons.
 #
+case $1 in
+start)		;;
+*)		exit;;
+esac

 
 echo -n 'starting local daemons:'

 

 
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install new /etc/rc.d stuff without change /etc/rc.local.
>Fix:
	It should be some note (caution) in some document.
