I've mistakenly copied the /etc/rc.local over the /etc/init.d/rc.local and I was wondering how can I retore the init.d/rc.local contents?
Is it possible to generate the original file or copy it from somewhere?
Thanks in advance!
You can use `dpkg' to find out which package is providing a file. In your case you could have used:
sudo dpkg -S /etc/init.d/rc.local
This would have told you that the file is provided by package `initscripts':
$ sudo dpkg -S /etc/init.d/rc.local
initscripts: /etc/init.d/rc.local
Then just reinstall that package:
sudo apt-get install --reinstall initscripts
