A 200 line patch is going to be included to the Linux kernel to give it a faster responsiveness.<br><br><a href="http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2637_video&num=1">http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=linux_2637_video&num=1</a><br>
<br>Lennart Poettering wrote a 4 line userspace bash shell code to do it<br><br><a href="http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2010/11/forget-200-lines-red-hat-speed.html">http://blog.internetnews.com/skerner/2010/11/forget-200-lines-red-hat-speed.html</a><br>
<br>The thing is that the bash 4 line code only works if you are using systemd in Fedora 14. I think this is Lennart's way in letting people know that he is a bit annoyed for systemd not being the default initialisation system in Fedora 14 (too many bugs that were not quite resolved), it will be in Fedora 15.<br>
<br>For the majority of Linux users (not using systemd) there is a way to do it in userland for all the distributions thanks to Ricardo Ferreira.<br><br><a href="http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=sHRYRuAN">http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=sHRYRuAN</a><br>
<br>This works both in Fedora & Ubuntu, some things to watch here. <br><br>1. In Fedora /etc/rc.local is just a symbolic link to /etc/system.d/rc.local so when you edit /etc/rc.local it writes to /etc/system.d/rc.local (no problem just pointing this out)<br>
2. /etc/rc.local in both Fedora & Ubuntu are executable so there is no need for the chmod +x command. Test this with<br><br>$ ls -la /etc/rc.local<br><br>This should show you if it is executable.<br><br>Just to let people know what the latest is happening in systemd<br>
<br><a href="http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-update-2.html">http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/systemd-update-2.html</a><br><br>Anyway the code is going to be added to the Linux kernel if people don't like mucking about with userspace. I haven't done any benchmarking or using it under heavy loads yet (other things to do), so if anyone tries this can let me know what you think about this.<br>
