when you're done.

Edit: Note, the '+' sign is only to indicate which lines are added, it shouldn't be actually put in the file.

Thanks, I'm using Midnight commander to edit the file, but am having a problem saving it. Probably becuase I don't have root access to the file. How would i be able to get to said mode from within MC? Or do I need to go through the terminal and sudo it?

Edit: For those also curious, yes you need to have root control before editing the file.

Another question I'm having is, this two new lines we've added, as far as I can tell, will run in the event that all other scenarios under that (what looks like a function) don't pan out.

Just so I understand what I've just done, this basically will force the device to shut down, and then reset the reboot counter, when the the reboot count has risen too high?
