Hi, has anyone used /etc/init.d/skeleton in Debian 2.1 to build a startup script? I used the template... all I did was "fill in the blanks" so to speak... and for some reason only the Start argument works, the other options (stop/restart/rorce-reload) don't do anything except echo the respective message to stdout. I also tried using a pre-installed service (xntpd) to test the skeleton template with. IOW, I ran the skeleton script with the appropriate lines inserted for the path to xntpd: /etc/init.d# ./xntpdviaskel start Starting XNTPD via Skeleton script: xntpd. /etc/init.d# ps aux|grep xnt root 1883 0.7 2.0 992 928 ? S 01:31 0:00 /usr/sbin/xntpd /etc/init.d# ./xntpdviaskel stop Stopping XNTPD via Skeleton script: /etc/init.d# /etc/init.d# ps aux|grep xnt root 1883 0.2 2.0 992 928 ? S 01:31 0:00 /usr/sbin/xntpd /etc/init.d# You can see that: a) the xntpd service was NOT stopped by the script, and b) the "Stopping..." line didn't even LF at the end. Considering that this script is part of the standard distr installation, wouldn't this be considered a bug in the skeleton script? AFAIK the only lines that require modification are these three: DAEMON=/usr/sbin/daemon NAME=daemon DESC="some daemon" What changes must be made to this script in order to get it to work "as advertised?"
