Good point. Statement not thought out well.

Debian RC System/Init Scripts
I'm curious if there has ever been any attempt to Policyize scripts located in init.d. Specifically requiring inclusion of such lines as DESC="description" or NAME="name". I ask because I am doing a little bit of work on the rc startup script. I have found a few scripts in the base install that do not include such lines, but many others that do. My goal in monkeying with the init system is to clean it up a bit, and perhaps develop my own parallel service startup method. Albiet, a bit less than other distros like Gentoo, as no Debian init script declares dependencies. They do however declare a few dependencies, in that all S50 scripts theoritically can launch parallel. I hope to base my efforts on this. Please don't denounce my efforts as "Debian doesn't need parallel starts!" Because I'd like to make it for myself, regardless what Debian needs. Anyways, mandated inclusion of lines such as DESC, NAME, etc in the scripts would help me, and probably make for some much cleaner scripts. My scripts will need to read out the DESC line in order to spit out some custom boot messages, which the hard coded "Starting X..." in the scripts cannot provide. -- Jerry Haltom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Feedback Plus, Inc.
