Hi

I have a query here while booting linux we find on the screen someting like

Starting sendmail
.....................................[OK]

Instead I want

Starting sendmail
.....................................[Success]

so how do i do it and which file I need to edit

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal

Look at the file, "/etc/init.d/functions".
Find the "OK" string in the function 'echo_success()' and  change it to

whatever you like. If you would like the word "Success" to appear only for "sendmail" then I suspect you could include this function in the "sendmail" script located in "/etc/rc.d/init.d" after the include of the "functions"

library.

Hi Serge

Could see the functions file, If i replace OK with Success it works
for all the services, But I want a specific service viz Sendmail, so
how do i do it

Thanks and Regards

Kaushal

I have not tried this but give it a go.

Edit the file "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sendmail"
Here is a clip of the top of that file;

---------------------------------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
# sendmail      This shell script takes care of starting and stopping
#               sendmail.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 80 30
# description: Sendmail is a Mail Transport Agent, which is the program \
#              that moves mail from one machine to another.
# processname: sendmail
# config: /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
# pidfile: /var/run/sendmail.pid

# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

echo_success() {
 [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $MOVE_TO_COL
 echo -n "["
 [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_SUCCESS
 echo -n $"  Success  "
 [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && $SETCOLOR_NORMAL
 echo -n "]"
 echo -ne "\r"
 return 0
}

# Source networking configuration.
[ -f /etc/sysconfig/network ] && . /etc/sysconfig/network
--------------------------------------------
Save it and reboot. Let me know if this works.

Serge
