Nothing odd there. Note that all of the stuff in "rcx.d" are simply
symlinks to stuff in /etc/rc.d/init.d, and that's why you see the same
stuff over and over.
Ok, check the /etc/rc.d/rc.local script and see if it's running
something weird. Remember that if it's running a program that grabs
the console, it must be run with a "&" at the end so it runs in the
background:
programname &
Ideally you'd probably want to send it's stdout and stderr to the bit
bucket so you don't get messages on the console. The first line below
would send output to the bit bucket, the second should log output to
/var/log/messages:
programname >/dev/null 2>&1 &
programname | logger 2>&1 &
The trailing "&" causes the program to run in a subshell and releases
the console. If that's not done, the startup can't complete until the
program exits, and I suspect that's what's happening with your stuff.
