@Milan: Yes, we should provide descriptions for those services we know, and allow operations on all services, even those we don't know.
However, I think the list of "known" services should not be hard-coded; rather, there should be a way for services to register themselves with service manager and thereby provide a description. So, for example, the service manager, upon encountering an unknown service in /etc/init.d/myserviced would look at /usr/share/registered-services/myserviced.desktop (for example) and find out that the friendly name is "My Service" and the description is "This service provides some services." This way any arbitrary package can be extended to provide a "nice" description by including the appropriate .desktop file. What do you think of this idea? Follow-up: maybe the services.desktop file could contain firewall exception information as well, for integration with a possible eventual firewall manager GUI? -- services-admin should be disabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433701 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-system-tools in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
