Linux keytable

This script is used to load the appropriate keymap in the system according to the /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file. This script also loads the system font with the /sbin/setsysfont script. The setsysfont script uses the contents of the file /etc/sysconfig/i18n. These scripts do not run any daemon programs. My /etc/sysconfig/keyboard file:

KEYTABLE="us"

My /etc/sysconfig/i18n file:

LANG="en_US"
LC_ALL="en_US"
LINGUAS="en_US"

The /sbin/setsysfont script

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/usr/bin

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/i18n ]; then
  . /etc/sysconfig/i18n
fi

if [ -x /bin/consolechars -o -x /usr/bin/consolechars ]; then
  if [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
    ARGS=$SYSFONT
    if [ -n "$UNIMAP" ]; then
       ARGS="$ARGS --sfm $UNIMAP"
    fi
    if [ -n "$SYSFONTACM" ]; then
       ARGS="$ARGS --acm $SYSFONTACM"
    fi
    consolechars -f $ARGS
  fi
elif [ -x /usr/bin/setfont ]; then
  if [ -n "$SYSFONT" -a -n "$UNIMAP" ]; then
    /usr/bin/setfont $SYSFONT -u $UNIMAP
  elif [ -n "$SYSFONT" ]; then
    /usr/bin/setfont $SYSFONT
#  else
#    /usr/bin/setfont
  fi
else
  echo "can't set font"
  exit 1
fi
exit 0

The keytable startup script

#!/bin/sh
#
# Load keytable
#
# This must be executed *after* /usr is mounted.
# This means if /usr is NFS-mounted, it needs to
# run after networking and NFS mounts are up.
#
# chkconfig: 2345 75 05
# description: This package loads the selected keyboard map as set in \
#   /etc/sysconfig/keyboard.  This can be selected using the kbdconfig \
#   utility.  You should leave this enabled for most machines.
