These things get left in forever. I once filed a bug report https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=569056 because the warning that English word lists in vim had been removed was still present *TWO YEARS* after the fact. How flexible is the ewarn option? Can printing the warning be made conditional? I suggest warning only if there are any hits on... grep -l '^#!/sbin/runscript' /etc/init.d/* Note the single-quote around the expression. Otherwise "#" can be a special character for grep. Furthermore, "grep -l" output can be used to tell the enduser which specific scripts are non-compliant. -- Walter Dnes <[email protected]> I don't run "desktop environments"; I run useful applications
