Linux Swap Space Mini-HOWTO: The swaphalt.sh script Next Previous Contents

10. The swaphalt.sh script

This script first checks the Linux swap signature and then restores the Windows file system on it.

(Adapted from the original Swap-Space-HOWTO by H. Peter Anvin)

#!/bin/sh 
# 
# swaphalt.sh   This file is executed through the /etc/rc.d/init.d/halt 
#               script after swapping and accounting has been turned off. 
# 
# Author:       Rahul U. Joshi 
# 
# check swap partition signature and restore Windows swap info 
loopcount=0 
# flag to indicate whether the swap info has been restored or not 
restored=0 
# check for swap signature 3 times before giving up 
while [ $loopcount -lt 3 ] 
  do 
  if [ "`/bin/dd 2>/dev/null if=/dev/winswap bs=1 count=10 skip=4086`" = 'SWAP-SPACE' ]; then 
    echo "Restoring DOS/Windows swap info , iteration $loopcount"  
    /bin/zcat /etc/winswap.gz  >  /dev/winswap 
    restored=1 
    break 
  else 
    loopcount=loopcount+1 
  fi 
  done 
if [ $restored -ne 1 ] ; then 
   echo "Swap signature not found after $loopcount tries" 
   echo "Skipping restoring" 
fi
