sysfs boot-time setup

English Install/Boot/Login
#1

I need to setup some sysfs properties at boot-time, but can’t find a proper way how to do this in OpenSuSe. In debian exist /etc/sysfs.conf file, which may be used for this task.

Also, i can’t find rc.local analogue in OpenSuSe. I’ve found boot.local, but it’s not an option, cos it’s executed before runlevels.

So, i’d like to know how it might be done in OpenSuSe way, or create some feature request against rc.local analogue at least.

P.S. Also, i’ve seen /etc/init.d/skeleton, but, i’d like to believe, there might be some preinstalled script for this, which can be used as simple as boot.local.

Edit the following script to suite your needs, save it as /etc/init.d/rclocal, make it executable and enable/disable it with chkconfig (or Yast -> Services).

I’ve done similar script already, based on skeleton in /etc/init.d.
But, my question is why such script doesn’t shipped with OpenSuSe?

IMHO, it’s very usable and, AFAIR, similar scripts available in most distros.

So, probably, it costs some feature request in bugzilla?
