It has always been difficult to provide beautiful initscript output because of the fact that called programs (not to mention the kernel) interject messages between a script's "Doing..." and "done" messages. That task has only been made harder by the new goal of maintaining compatibility with Ubuntu and the decision to introduce a bunch of half-baked lsb init-functions. Another source of difficulty is the fact that POSIX shells offer no convenient way of grepping stderr separately from stdout. I think that we should be satisfied for now if the messages get printed on both Debian and Ubuntu in a fairly logical order and with consistent formatting. Then the user can scramble everything by enabling parallel execution of initscripts. :) -- Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
