Hi folks,

In Slackware 12, there are references in /etc/rc.d/rc.6
to /bin/sleep. There is no sleep in /bin. Try 'which sleep'.

Also, the poweroff command at the end needs to
have the -h flag to make sure it quietly shuts down
the hard drives. Without it, mine makes a cluck sound.

Enjoy..

/bin/sleep

]$ grep sleep /var/log/packages/*
,,,

on mine, it returns /usr/bin/sleep, which is a symlink to /bin/sleep

make sure it doesn't lay eggs too... although this sounds like a safer
way...

LOL, n00b.
Try: ls -l /usr/bin/sleep

LOL, boob, that's still the *wrong* command!

Try "whereis sleep".

There's nothing "wrong" about it, dumb fuck. It illustrates to the n00b
(and to you too apparently), that /usr/bin/sleep is a symlink to
/bin/sleep, and therefore the "error" in the rc.6 script is not an error
at all.

Is that too much for you to grasp? Read it again, slowly.

Yeah. What about it? Meaningless in this context.

You can do what you'd like, dimwit.

Look at /etc/inittab for rc.6.

Not at all. It clearly shows there is a /bin/sleep, which is what the
OP was curious about. Just like your ls, but with even more
information.

In any case, the important lesson here is that there is more than one
instance of "sleep" in the path, and "which" only reports the first one.
