Yes. > One of the major distinctions > between /etc/init.d/ and /etc/rc.d is that the latter is segregated by > run levels, so that each daemon can have a different environment for > different run levels. .. but the mark of the sysV layout is the script per daemon per runtime level. Sometimes it is simplified by making symlinks though. While classic (pre SysV) Unix (including BSD) has just one or two scripts that handle everything. Modern BSD (like current FreeBSD) currently afaik do have a script per daemon btw, just not the added dimension of runlevels. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
