Hi,<br><br>I would like to echo to a file and find whether some scripts has executed while system startup and shutdown. How can I do that? I was thinking of echoeing some message to a file while the script is executing.<br><br>Thanks in advance

<br>Sure, we do it all the time. Just add an echo line to the appropriate rc file.<br>

Hello,Try echoing like that:<FONT FACE=monospace><b>echo</b> &gt;&gt; /some/file/is/the/log</font>then you can count on a cumulative log.I hope it works

Sneaking a &quot;date&quot; command into the echo might help as well. eg:<br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>echo &quot;`date` nfs startup script run&quot; &gt;&gt;/path/to/my/log/file<br></font><br>Note the apostrophes around &quot;date&quot; are the &quot;backtic&quot; apostrophes found just to the left of the &quot;1&quot; key on a UK PC keyboard.
