This is as intended. I interpret the 'quiet' kernel option to mean 'only show errors' during boot. > IMO, the wish to have a noiseless system start does not include the > wish that an init script which may be invoked from the command line > days later does not give any feedback about its operation. I agree with this. Outside the boot, the scripts should report their informational messages as usual. > Please consider returning the skeleton init script to the behavior > that is common for init scripts, which is not honoring a VERBOSE > environment variable to switch off the log_foo calls. Not an option. Will need to figure out a way to detect the difference between the boot setting and the command line setting.
