I tested the use of "rc.local" but "insserv --showall stop-bootlogd" rejected that. Using "$all" is correct, see "insserv(8)" (search for "$all"). After issuing "update-rc.d stop-bootlogd" the content for "rc.local" and "stop-bootlogd" in the file "/etc/init.d/.depend.start") is the same. The output on the terminal (use "--noclear", 1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty --noclear 38400 tty1 in the "/etc/inittab" file) shows the same last lines as in the "/var/log/boot" file. (The last line should come from "stop-bootlogd" which is "/etc/init.d/bootlogd stop") -- Bjarni I. Gislason
