fsck

Is there anyway to automate the following (all from one script):

 Boot to single-user mode (or whatever is required)
 run fsck
 reboot back to level 5 (or 3)

so that you can kick it off, go away,
come back an hour or so later and it'll
all be done (via IP)?

Er, a simple script:

	#!/bin/bash
	touch /.autofsck
	reboot

will do it.  The system looks for /.autofsck when it boots.  If it finds
it, it fscks the filesystems, then deletes /.autofsck.  Check the main
startup script "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit" for details.

Hi

I would tend to set a flag checked by a utility inserted in the run
level one startup.  The script would then be able to accomplish the
whole thingl

Have Fun!

Hi

I would tend to set a flag checked by a utility inserted in the run
level one startup.  The script would then be able to accomplish the
whole thingl

Have Fun!

It depends if the partition you aare running fsck on is
mounted in
single user mode. You can't run fsck on a mounted disk.

Tony,

No script required:

# shutdown -Fr now

However, I'm the kinda person what would hang around for that particular 
hour!, I'd then shag off after that :)

How about "touch /forcefsck"?
It will force fsck to run on next reboot
