Thank you for posting this.
I used the above with an else in case $LOGLEVEL wasn't defined. I
assume that is the reason it was dropped, but if it still exists, I'll
use it.
#Fix console loglevel
if [ -# n "$LOGLEVEL" ]; then
/bin/dmesg -n $LOGLEVEL
else
/bin/dmesg -n 3
fi
Uh, the F13 version actually reads:
# Fix console loglevel
if [ -n "$LOGLEVEL" ]; then
/bin/dmesg -n $LOGLEVEL
fi
"if [ -# n "$LOGLEVEL" ]; then" is incorrect and will probably make
the
shell mark the line as an error.
