OTOH, if you want to avoid restarting a non-running service, you need to obtain somehow that piece of informati from the init.d script run. The exit status would be a way to do this. If it's okay to start non-running services on upgrade, exiting with 0 is probably fine. -- Florian Weimer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Kriegsstraße 100 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76133 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
