To be able to check boot script order, and also to be able to start boot scripts in parallel, it is important to know the dependencies of the various boot scripts. The Linux Software Base specifies a init.d header file format useful for this purpose, and adding such header to the anacron init.d script would make it possible for me to use this information to check the current sequence and to speed up the debian boot. I am working on a system to update the boot sequence based on these dependencies, and would like see this as the default in Lenny. Because of this, it is nice if the dependencies was updated quickly. <URL:http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html> documents the LSB header format. Some debian notes are available from <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>. Here is a patch to document the dependencies. I hope this is correct. diff -ur genpower-1.0.5.orig/debian/genpower.rc genpower-1.0.5/debian/genpower.rc --- genpower-1.0.5.orig/debian/genpower.rc 2004-01-18 05:23:10.000000000 +0100 +++ genpower-1.0.5/debian/genpower.rc 2008-02-17 10:42:39.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,11 @@ #! /bin/sh +### BEGIN INIT INFO +# Provides: genpower +# Required-Start: $remote_fs +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs +# Default-Start: 1 2 3 4 5 +# Default-Stop: +### END INIT INFO # # genpower This script is used to start the UPS management daemon.

Tell everybody and start the shutdown based The header patch reflect the current configuration in the package. It seem strange to me to start the daemon in single user (runlevel 1), and to insert two copies of the genpower script (using the symlink ups-monitor). The symlink will not be properly handled by dependency based boot sequencing, as it will provide genpower and not ups-monitor. Is it really needed? If not, perhaps it is better to remove the symlink? Also, I would recommend not starting the daemons in runlevel 1. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
