Package: sysv-rc Version: 2.88dsf-11 Severity: important I have a backup script on my desktop PC, which should run only on system shutdown (runlevel 0).
So I have written /etc/init.d/backup-thuehome.sh , with an LSB header including # Default-Start: # Default-Stop: 0 But when I try to use it, it fails because the init system won't accept an empty Default-Start. For example running update-rc.d with an empty Default-State, or removing Default-Start completely, gives me: t...@h ~> sudo update-rc.d backup-thuehome.sh enable update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing update-rc.d: error: backup-thuehome.sh Default-Start contains no runlevels, aborting. Even worse, when manually adding a symlink to /etc/rc0.d , then the script silently refuses to run, without an error being logged to syslog or the console! (this part is why I added the important severity. Error handling feedback is very important!) My init scipt works fine if a add for example # Default-Start: 3 Regards Thue -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=da_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=da_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sysv-rc depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.33 Debian configuration management sy ii insserv 1.14.0-2 Tool to organize boot sequence usi ii sysvinit-utils 2.88dsf-11 System-V-like utilities Versions of packages sysv-rc recommends: ii lsb-base 3.2-23.1 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip Versions of packages sysv-rc suggests: pn bum <none> (no description available) pn sysv-rc-conf <none> (no description available) -- debconf information: sysv-rc/unable-to-convert: * sysv-rc/convert-legacy: true _______________________________________________ Pkg-sysvinit-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-sysvinit-devel
