Ascii version of schedule (for lynx)

The real schedule--the boot schedule

Fixing the schedule

The schedule files don't always make sense, but you can still get in...

All you have to do is run telnet from Windoze (start menu, run, then type telnet) and connect to somewhere like say joplin.cs.unm.edu, and then

cd /nfs/notrust/niiel/boot-schedule
oh.yes

then go ahead and reboot... when you're done and want to give NT a chance to boot again, just go to the same directory and type

oh.no

What this does is temporarily replace scheduling.pl with a sane version that sits tight while linux loads instead of sabotaging the system by booting Windoze. You'd think that it would be easier to temporarily replace the schedule.dat file, but they left the protection wrong on it, and the rc scripts are insistent on wanting scheduling.pl...

The other alternative is to try guess a workable value for the time and set it into the CMOS setup after resetting.
