Configure init script...

[TheBigAmbulance]

I have a RedHat init script that I need to adapt to (K)Ubuntu...

In order to set an ISCSI timer in my RedHat hosts, I need to do this:

1. Create file called iscsi-device-timeout at /etc/rc.d/init.d/
2. Copy/paste or type the short script below. This command should be repeated for all iSCSI devices. Keep in mind, I have used sdb in this example.
a. echo 120 > /sys/block/sdb/device/timeout
3. Make file executable
a. chmod +x iscsi-device-timeout
4. Create link to boot levels 3 and 5
a. ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/iscsi-device-timeout /etc/rc3.d/S999iscsi-device-timeout
b. ln -s /etc/rc.d/init.d/iscsi-device-timeout /etc/rc5.d/S999iscsi-device-timeout
5. Reboot the host and verify the result, cat /sys/block/sdb/device/timeout
a. Verify the file timeout is 120

I've never really dug WAY deep into setup up init processes on Kubuntu, but what I need to do is setup a script to do this.

What would be the Ubuntu equivelant of the RedHat way?

You could do it in a similar way in *buntus (although *buntus use upstart, the old style init scripts should work as well), except kubuntu (like debian) defaults to runlevel 2 (rc2.d).

However, since your script runs relatively late in the boot process (S99), you could just put the command(s) in /etc/rc.local (which is a simpler solution)

Thanks for that quick insight. Worked great!!
