How does Puppy work when shutting down?

Hello,

What files do Puppy execute when shutting down?

I want to modify the shutdown script so it does not save all settings automatically. Instead i have that icon on the desktop "save", so i only can manually save all settings.

Thanks for help,

Best regards,
Johan

@cli, type: cat /etc/rc.d/rc.shutdown | more

Also, see http://www.puppylinux.com/development/h ... works.html

At some point Barry installed less, I suppose you hadn't noticed that.

Actually I prefer more, more or less ...

Thanks AlienJeff!

I will read that - how puppy works.

Do you know what section in the rc.shutdown i need to comment out, to stop puppy from autosaving at shutdown?

Best regards,
Johan

I have a feeling that I read somewhere that Puppy autosaves at regular intervals not just at shutdown. I'm not sure though. (Perhaps that was just with installs to usb flash?)

[Edit] for flushing RAM to pup_save in 2.17 see post: http://murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=21336
