#if [ -f /forcefsck ] || strstr "$cmdline" forcefsck ; then
# fsckoptions="-f $fsckoptions"
#elif [ -f /.autofsck ]; then
if [ -x /usr/bin/rhgb-client ] && /usr/bin/rhgb-client --ping ; then
chvt 1
fi
# echo $"Your system appears to have shut down uncleanly"
AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT=5

if /sbin/getkey -c $AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT -m $"Press N within %d seconds to not
force file system integrity check..." n ; then
AUTOFSCK_OPT=
fi
else
if /sbin/getkey -c $AUTOFSCK_TIMEOUT -m $"Press Y within %d seconds to
force file system integrity check..." y ; then
AUTOFSCK_OPT=-f
fi
