Here is a good link which explains OpenRC on Funtoo. I'm not sure how a Devuan implementation would differ. http://www.funtoo.org/Package:OpenRC One section that I think is very interesting: ----- The magic of conf.d Most init scripts need default values. It would be fragile to explicitly source some arbitrary files. By convention runscript will source the matching file in /etc/conf.d/ for any script in /etc/init.d/ So you can set random startup-related things easily. Example: conf.d/foo: START_OPTS="--extraparameter sausage" init.d/foo: start() { /usr/sbin/foo-daemon ${STARTOPTS} } The big advantage of this split is that most of the time editing of the init script can be avoided. ----- This says to me that the scripts in /etc/init.d could/should be standardized across distributions. Customization happens in the /etc/conf.d directory. -Rob _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
