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. I was very confused by the current boot sequence numbers (starting before networking is set up, but also stopping before networking is taken down), so please check carefully that I picked the correct dependencies. diff -ur serpento-0.4.1.orig/debian/serpento.dictd.init serpento-0.4.1/debian/serpento.dictd.init --- serpento-0.4.1.orig/debian/serpento.dictd.init 2006-06-06 23:53:10.000000000 +0200 +++ serpento-0.4.1/debian/serpento.dictd.init 2008-02-29 17:34:35.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,11 @@ #! /bin/sh +### BEGIN INIT INFO +# Provides: dictd +# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog +# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 +# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 +### END INIT INFO # # skeleton example file to build /etc/init.d/ scripts. # This file should be used to construct scripts for /etc/init.d. As the stop script do not seem to do much except killing the daemon, that task might be better left to the sendsigs script in runlevel 0 and 6, to speed up shutdown. If this is indeed the case, I recommend removing 0 and 6 from the Default-Stop list.
