Hello, In one of the package i maitain i have a config script which begin by asking if the service attached to this package need to be run. I use a variable ( stored in /etc/default/mldonkey -- LAUNCH_AT_STARTUP="yes" ) to determine if i need to run the service or not.
If the variable is set to yes, the init script launch the service, otherwise it does nothing. The user ask me if i can use update-rc.d to create/remove symlink depending on the former LAUNCH_AT_STARTUP value. What is the standard solution for doing this in debian ? Thanks for your response Kind regard Sylvain LE GALL ps : i know ssh use a file to launch or not sshd, is it a good solution ?
