I want to set up a dedicated remote plan9 system to periodically check mail and print parts of emails from certain senders.

I think I see how to do this using rc.

I'm not sure about a restart after a power restoration.

Do I have to modify the kernel to provide for a fixed user and root, instead of the usual login?

Or, is there an easier solution?

Thanks,

-Tom

If I understand you correctly, you are running a standalone terminal with the pcf kernel. Then, you can set variables "nobootprompt" and "user" in you plan9.ini. For example: nobootprompt=local!#S/sdC0/fossil user=glenda -- David du Colombier
