Skip over startup script when booting

[Coolmar]

You know in the boot screen how it goes through each startup script and has the dots and then the [ok] or [fail] or [busy]...well sometimes it gets hung up for one reason or another. Is there a way to make it skip that one and continue?

Control | will break out of a hung one and will continue along.

If I recall correctly.

Or, depending on your particular console, it might need to be Break.

Coolmar,

Dave suggestion is correct. Just remember only do it one time. if you press CTL "|" many times it will actually stop the rc levels and you will get the console login.

Another thing, when you r system is up and running. I will suggest to check the /etc/rc.log to see what is hung. then you can fix the script that is holding the boot process.

Good luck
