Hi, I noticed that some scripts in /etc/init.d/ are suffixed by .sh and some are not. On my sytem:
host:/etc/init.d# ls -1 *.sh bootmisc.sh checkfs.sh checkroot.sh console-screen.sh hostname.sh hwclock.sh keymap.sh mountall-bootclean.sh mountall.sh mountdevsubfs.sh mountkernfs.sh mountnfs-bootclean.sh mountnfs.sh mtab.sh umountnfs.sh All except console-screen.sh, hwclock.sh and keymap.sh are from the initscripts package. I was wandering if there was a reason from this discrepancy. So I had a look in the Debian Policy Manuel, and one can read (subsection 9.3.2 Writing the scripts) that "These scripts should be named /etc/init.d/package". I failed to find another reference to script naming in the rest of the document. So 1) nowhere is .sh suffixing mentioned and 2) some scripts are not named by their package's name (hwclock.sh is part of the util-linux package). Is there a reason for this? Would it be purely aesthetics to clean out these script names? Thank you for the great job.
