Not really. I was talking about normal programs, not dæmons. I have the expectation that these, when invoked, create their necessary temporary files/directories when they are placed on volatile storage, i.e. /tmp and /run and possibly /var/tmp. >nothing we're talking about here changes that behavior, because nothing >needs to be pre-created. Ah, good then. For dæmons, running them in chroots is usually more tricky anyway. Ideally, just /etc/init.d/foo {stop|start} would work, but there’s situations where that doesn’t suffice. If maintainers can get the former working, fine. bye, //mirabilos -- Infrastrukturexperte • tarent solutions GmbH Am Dickobskreuz 10, D-53121 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Telephon +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB AG Bonn 5168 • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg **************************************************** /⁀\ The UTF-8 Ribbon ╲ ╱ Campaign against Mit dem tarent-Newsletter nichts mehr verpassen: ╳ HTML eMail!
