I am not aware of a standard that specifies the language used for init scripts. (That doesn't mean there isn't one. System V might specify it--but I don't know.) You could say that there is at least a defacto standard for the interface--accepting start|stop|status|restart and additional specific parameters. I don't see why you couldn't just as easily write an init script in perl/python/C/whatever. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
