I am "hacking" the i8kutils(*) package (as far as I can see, there is no Mandrake version of it) to make it more Mandrake-friendly and possibly to generate an rpm. It comes with SistemV style service script, but for Debian, which uses different program and conventions for the scripts. Is there a rule on how to write a service script for Mandrake or should I just try to copy from another script (e.g. lm_sensors, which does similar things)? Does drakservices automatically see what is in /etc/init.d or should it be made aware of new scripts? How do I assign priority to the service? (I mean, the number that appear in the link to the script from the runlevel init directory)?
Thanks Biagio (*) i8kutils is a package written by a Debian developer and containing utilities for monitoring fan speed and CPU temperature on several Dell laptop models. It also allows to use the multimidia buttons.
