Documentation/Changes says:
As of 2.1.90-pre1, kerneld has been replaced by a kernel thread,
kmod. See Documentation/kmod.txt for more information. The main
user-level change this requires is modification to your init scripts to
check for the absence of /proc/sys/kernel/modprobe before starting
kerneld.
Wouldn't it be nice to have an example of how to check for that file
in the documentation? kmod.txt doesn't mention it (as of 2.1.129),
and me as an advantage Linux but not bash script user does not know
how to change the start of kerneld in my scripts.
I know, this is a userspace issue, and somebody *might* use a different
shell. But an example for checking whether kerneld should be started
would be nice in the docs, I think.
ciao,
johnny
