Only data written after the file is opened is available. If the machine's console is a serial line, the data is sent both to the console and to kprint; if its console is a graphics screen, the data is sent either to the display or to kprint, but not both. (It is advisable not to open kprint on terminals until you have started rio(1).) -rob --upas-kwcterdnoxwbopzarbyvppsqoh Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Received: from plan9.cs.bell-labs.com ([135.104.9.2]) by plan9; Mon Oct 1 06:49:26 EDT 2001 Received: from mail.cse.psu.edu ([130.203.4.6]) by plan9; Mon Oct 1 06:49:24 EDT 2001 Received: from psuvax1.cse.psu.edu (psuvax1.cse.psu.edu [130.203.16.6]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id C26BC19ACF; Mon, 1 Oct 2001 06:49:05 -0400 (EDT) Delivered-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu Received: from smtp.noos.fr (racine.noos.net [212.198.2.71]) by mail.cse.psu.edu (CSE Mail Server) with ESMTP id 83E4919A65 for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; Mon, 1 Oct 2001 06:48:19 -0400 (EDT) Received: (qmail 73537808 invoked by uid 0); 1 Oct 2001 10:48:18 -0000 Received: from unknown (HELO SOMA) ([212.198.185.162]) (envelope-sender ) by 212.198.2.71 (qmail-ldap-1.03) with SMTP for <9fans@cse.psu.edu>; 1 Oct 2001 10:48:18 -0000 Message-ID: <009b01c14a66$290975d0$a2b9c6d4@SOMA> From: "Boyd Roberts" To: <9fans@cse.psu.edu> References: <20010929124148.129DF19AA2@mail.cse.psu.edu>, <0d9e01c148e6$48ceb9b0$a2b9c6d4@SOMA> <1001772763.305811@firewall.isd.dp.ua> Subject: Re: [9fans] kfs error MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4133.2400 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4133.2400 Sender: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu Errors-To: 9fans-admin@cse.psu.edu X-BeenThere: 9fans@cse.psu.edu X-Mailman-Version: 2.0.6 Precedence: bulk Reply-To: 9fans@cse.psu.edu List-Id: Fans of the OS Plan 9 from Bell Labs <9fans.cse.psu.edu> List-Archive: Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 12:45:17 +0200 >> yeah, i added a function called halt to /rc/bin/termrc too. > Is there a way to finish running 'rio' desktop ? > So that termrc could continue after 'rio' and halt the kfs ? boots quickly enough so i just halt and ^t^tr it. it's rare that i _don't_ want to run rio, although i did log in as none to take out some kernel print's with ed, 'cos it drives rio (well, the display and me) nuts. --upas-kwcterdnoxwbopzarbyvppsqoh--
