Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-59.11
Severity: wishlist
Hi!
The contents of /etc/init.d/skeleton has been recentlish changed to an
one-liner that uses /lib/init/init-d-script hiding all the actual code.
That's fine if all what you want is to start a daemon; there's a lot
of other things people want to do in an init scripts.
For example, what I want right now does:
start)
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/pmem0
mount -o dax /dev/pmem0 /mnt/pmem
chmod 1777 /mnt/pmem
stop)
umount /mnt/pmem
-- no daemon in sight. But, to create such an init script, I'd need to fish
out the skeleton from somewhere -- exactly what this file was good for.
Thus, it would be good to provide that as well. Perhaps as another file,
perhaps commented out.
Meow!
