Package: sysv-rc
Version: 2.86.ds1-1
I had to read the init.d/rc script to make sure that
Knn* are _not_ called in reversed sort order. In facts,
the docs don't say it. Giving a single NN argument should
be deprecated. More misunderstandings below...
Related bugs: 268713, 288098
The following also applies to version 2.86.ds1-2, AFAICS.
Suggestions:
1) advertise update-rc.d
Add a paragraph in /etc/init.d/README saying something like
Use the update-rc.d command to create symbolic links
in the /etc/rc?.d as appropriate. See that man page
for more details.
2) encourage setting the stop number correctly
In the man page I would replace
this can be overridden by supplying one or two NN arguments
with
this should be overridden if there are dependencies. For
example if daemon B depends on A, then A must be started
before B and B must be killed before A. You accomplish
this by supplying two NN arguments. In general, core daemons
should start early and be killed late, whilst applications
can start late and be killed early. See EXAMPLES below.
The first NN argument supplies the start sequence number and
the second NN argument supplies the kill sequence number.
Kill scripts are called first, passing a stop argument. Then
start scripts are called passing a start argument. In either
case, calls happen in ascending sequence number order.
Supplying a single NN argument will use the same number for
both start and kill links. This is supported for backward
compatibility but is discouraged, as it may lead to inconsistent
settings. As a rule of thumb, if you increase the start sequence
number you should also decrease the stop sequence number, and
vice-versa.
And then put more examples, e.g.
Insert links at default runlevels when B requires A
update-rc.d script_for_A defaults 80 20
update-rc.d script_for_B defaults 90 10
Insert a link to a service that (presumably) will not be
needed by any other daemon
update-rc.d top_level_app defaults 98 02
Insert links for a script that requires services that
start/stop at sequence number 20
update-rc.d script_depends_on_svc20 defaults 21 19
Giving a single argument should be deprecated:
Let two independent daemons A and B configured in that way,
say A starts/stops at sequence number 20 and B at sequence
number 40. Then consider a service C that depends on A and
provides services necessary for B. (E.g. B can be configured
to do authentication using C.) Then C may start at 30, after
A but before B. There is no valid sequence number to stop C.
In facts, the stopping order should be kill-B, kill-C, kill-A,
which is not possible because A is killed before B.
Of course, such deadlocks may happen also letting the default 20,
but then at least it is clear that the problem hasn't been put. I
see no circumstance in which supplying `40' to the configuration
of B yields a benefit. What am I missing?
More misunderstandings:
- I have rc0.d/K21fam and rc3.d/S21fam. They used to be both at 20
(see bug 280617.) What issue has been solved with that move?
- If anyone is registered there, please edit
http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Update-rc.d
it says so:
Yes, you can use the arguments start and stop, followed by NN
(where NN are the desired runlevels) to specify which runlevels
the script will start and stop in.

Changes:
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-46) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Move from experimental to unstable.
* Remove debug code from init.d/mountoverflowtmp that was included
by mistake.
* Reduce output from init.d/mountoverflowtmp when VERBOSE!=yes.
* Add $all as a dependency for init.d/single, to make sure it is
started last in runlevel 1.
* Change runlevel setting in LSB header for init.d/rmnologin and
init.d/stop-bootlogd to not start in runlevel 1 (single user).
This reflect the current and correct setting specified in the
postinst.
* Remove redundant $local_fs dependency from init.d/bootmisc.sh,
init.d/rc.local, init.d/rmnologin and init.d/skeleton
* Move /lib/init/bootclean to /lib/init/bootclean.sh and source it
instead of running it.
.
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-45) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Replace log_daemon_msg() in init.d/rc with log_action_msg() to
improve visual layout when parallel booting is enabled.
* Avoid using startpar for rcS.d/. It does not work properly before
ptys are available. Related to bug #457896.
* Correct init.d/rc progress bar calculations for the startpar
option, counting each script that is started in parallel too.
* Patch startpar to not print exit codes for each subprocess, to
reduce the noise during boot.
* Remove usplash progress bar support from initscripts and use the
API hook file provided by usplash version 0.5.8-2 instead. Add
conflict on earlier versions of usplash.
.
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-44) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Add debian/watch file pointing to ftp.cistron.nl.
* Change init.d/mountnfs.sh dependencies to list nfs-common in
should-start (Closes: #433359).
* Change init.d/umountnfs.sh dependencies to list nfs-common in
should-start too.
* Mount a 1 MiB tmpfs on /tmp if /tmp is otherwise less than
1 MiB to make sure one can still log in when /tmp/ is too
full (Closes: #430814). Based on patch from Ian Jackson and Ubuntu.
* Rewrote ifup.d/mountnfs to wait for all 'auto' interfaces to be
initialized before trying to mount network file systems (Closes:
#386959, #390404, #418596, #419195, #426071, #428823, #432511,
#432511, #432750, #433119, #434177). Based on patch from Phil
Snowdon.
.
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-43) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Fix typo in /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs fstab option parsing used to
detect kerberos v5. (Closes: #416223)
* Update sysv-rc documentation based on text and suggestions
from Alessandro Vesely (Closes: #382410).
* Modify rules to install /lib/init/bootclean with the execute flag
set (Closes: 457847).
.
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-42) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Change XS-Vcs-Svn to Vcs-Svn as the control flags are official now.
* Add Vcs-Browser flag in debian/control, documenting the browsable source.
* Change how init.d/rc call scripts, to make sure sourced scripts
get the correct argument.
* Reduce redundant code in init.d/rc, to make it easier to enable
sourcing of *.sh scripts. It is still not possible to source
scripts, as some of them use exit and terminate the boot. This is
related to bug #339955.
.
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-41) experimental; urgency=low
.
* Update standards-version from 3.7.2 to 3.7.3. No change needed.
* Remove empty /lib/ directory from the sysvinit and sysvinit-utils
packages.
* Remove the empty /usr/share/man/man5/ from the sysv-rc package.
* Remove the registration of init.d/modutils from
initscripts/postinst, as the package is removed from Debian.
.
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-40) experimental; urgency=low
.
[ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
* Rewrite libata shutdown handling to use patch from
Werner Fink at SuSe to handle each disk individually and
automatically instead of guessing in the init.d script how
to handle them collectively (Closes: #426224). This removes
the HDDOWN variable from /etc/default/halt.
* Improve usage information in update-rc.d by using the same
notation as the one used in the manual page (Closes: #268713)
* Implement noswap kernel boot option to stop automatic
swap activation at boot time (Closes: #388525). Based on patch
from Michael Prokop.
* Rewrite init.d/rc to use shell features instead of calling sed
(Closes: #406393). Patch from Ivan Baldo.
* Fix typo in update-rc.d example code (Closes: #433378).
* Fix minor typo in rc*.d/README files (Closes: #452384).
* Make sure init.d/rc do not complain because the new progress bar
API is unavailable (Closes: #457544).
* New patch 26_last_ipv6 from Fedora to recognize more IPv6
addresses.
* Extend the 68_init_quiet patch based on patch from Fedora to also
suppress the "Switching to runlevel" message. This patch is
currently disabled because the 'quiet' flag is removed by the
kernel when init is called.
* New patch 69_init_waiting from Fedora to make sure the init
waiting status is preserved across re-exec.
* New patch 41_utmp_64bit from Fedora to avoid writing past the
utmp.ut_tv struct on 64 bit architectures. (Closes: #450543)
* New patch 64_init_init_reexec_env from Fedora to fix typo. Now
passes environment on to the new process when re-exec is used.
.
sysvinit (2.86.ds1-39) experimental; urgency=low
.
[ Petter Reinholdtsen ]
* Upload to experimental to get more feedback from testers.
* Change checkfs.sh dependency info, make modutils an optional
dependency as it is no longer installed by default.
* Move /etc/init.d/bootclean to /lib/init/bootclean, as it is not an
init.d script but a library.
* Acknowledge NMU. (Closes: #433386)
* Make /lib/init/vars.sh usable when 'set -e' is in effect. Patch
from Ubuntu.
* Rename 20_pidof.dpatch to 80_killall_pidof.dpatch, to group the
killall5 patches together.
* New patch 82_killall_exclude_pids.dpatch adding new option -o
to killall5, to omit killing the pid given on the command line.
Based on patch from Ubuntu. (Closes: #453042)
* Use new killall5 -o option in init.d/sendsigs, reading pids to
omit from /var/run/sendsigs.omit. This make it possible to list
pids there if the process is required to umount the file systems
during shutdown. Make initscripts depend on sysvinit-utils
(>= 2.86.ds1-39) to make sure killall5 support the -o option.
Based on patch from Ubuntu.
* Stop progress bar on ltsp-client-core too. The script was renamed
in recent ltsp versions. Based on patch from Ubuntu.
* Add linux-gnulp to debian/deps-mount, to get the correct behaviour
with regard to initscripts dependencies on lpia. Patch from Adam
Conrad in Ubuntu.
* Add splash screen / progress bar API to initscripts in
/lib/init/splash-functions-base, overridable by the splash
implementations in /lib/init/splash-functions. Based on patch
from David Härdeman. (Closes: #423095) Make initscripts conflict
with usplash (<< 0.5) to make sure a version with PULSATE support
is used.
* Rewrite init.d/rc progress bar support to use new API. Move
usplash calls to separate file splash-functions-usplash. This
file should be moved to the usplash package. Based on patch from
David Härdeman.
* Do not mount gfs2 as a local file system. It is a network file system.
Patch from Guido Guenther (Closes: #454468).
* Modify update-rc.d to refuse to install init.d scripts with illegal
characters in the names. Only accept [a-zA-Z0-9+.-] to match the
limits on package names. Correct handling of init.d scripts with
+ in their name (Closes: #431224).
.
[ Henrique de Moraes Holschuh ]
* libata shutdown handling fixes:
Check http://linux-ata.org/shutdown.html for information
* init.d/halt: do not issue -h to halt(8) when the kernel supports
auto-shutdown
* init.d/halt, default/halt: add HDDOWN option to override initscript
halt -h logic
* Add halt(5) manpage, updated for HDDOWN. Thanks to Casper Gielen for
the manpage. (Closes: #407211)
