Package: sysvinit
Version: 2.77-3
Severity: wishlist
Hello, here is an easy one.
The suggestion: /etc/default/rcS should not simply force
VERBOSE=yes
but more politely say
if test -z "$VERBOSE"; then VERBOSE=yes; fi
Why do I want this?
On my box, I have xntp3 up and running to keep the runtime clock in
tune. I want the hardware clock to be in tune, as well, so I inserted
a file in /etc/cron.daily, which calls the command:
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh reload
That neatly does the trick.
But it gives me as system administrator one mail a day to throw away.
No, thank you. I already get more than enough mail as it is.
So I changed this to
export VERBOSE=no
/etc/init.d/hwclock.sh reload
Still the same problem.
Looking into what's going on, I realized that /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh
sources /etc/default/rcS, which forces VERBOSE to yes.
I want VERBOSE=yes during bootup. But not during cron.daily. The
above fix allows me to do this, without breaking anything.
Yours
Andreas

Description: System-V like init.
Init is the first program to run after your system is booted, and
continues to run as process number 1 until your system halts. Init's
job is to start other programs that are essential to the operation of
your system. All processes are descended from init. For more information,
see the manual page init(8).

This bug is being closed as part of a cleanup of the old bug
reports in the sysvinit package, in an attempt to make it easier
to address the bug reports which actually are fixable. Some
reasons:
- Not a bug and/or it's a patch which will not be applied
- It will not be fixed, ever for various reasons
- Problem is not fixable in sysvinit or not our responsibility
- A better solution has become available in the interim
- No activity or submitter response in over a decade or more
