I need a script to insmod a module if lsmod doesn't list it. How would I
go about doing that? I know it would be pretty simple.

Thanks

lsmod | grep <yourmod>

it's return value is true, if something comes out, and not, if it isn't

maybe somthing like:


if $(lsmod | grep <yourmod>); then
exit 0
fi

insmod <yourmod>


however, you might want to use modprobe instead of insmod.

--polemon
