Package: procps
Version: 1:3.2.8-2
Severity: minor
Hi,
if VERSBOSE=yes, procps's init script is IMHO a bit too chatty.
Here's the output on my system:
Setting kernel variables (/etc/sysctl.conf)...net.ipv4.conf.default.rp_filter =
1
net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter = 1
[ DONE ]
Setting kernel variables (/etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf)...net.ipv6.bindv6only
= 1
[ DONE ]
I appreciate being informed on the different files being loaded,
but logging each and every setting is IMHO a bit too much.
With procps now supporting the sysctl.d/ directory that allows splitting
the monolithic sysctl.conf into files that are specific to single tasks,
I feel that outputting the raw systcl settings is not correct as it makes
the otherwise nicely formated output uglier and less readable/understandable.
If I am not completely mistaken, the fix should be as simple as removing
the following two lines from /etc/init.d:
if [ "$VERBOSE" = "yes" ]; then
quiet=""
I'd be really grateful if you considered it for inclusion into one
if the future uploads.
Thanks for maintainig procps in Debian
Peter
PS: Please ignore the special formatting of the "done".
I found it on planet.debian.org and liked it :-)
