Strange behaviour in Debian Lenny
Dear, I have a strange behaviour in Debian Lenny. In /etc/rc2.d (default runlevel), some startup scripts run tice when booting. I've made a test script in /etc/init.d/echo.sh like: #!/bin/bash ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: # Required-Start: # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 # Short-Description: Deferred execution scheduler # Description: Debian init script #scheduler ### END INIT INFO echo xxx /home/me/text With a softlink: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2010-08-10 13:55 S30echo.sh - ../init.d/echo.sh The file /home/me/text exists and is empty. When I reboot the system /home/me/text looks like: xxx xxx So, the script runs twice. Any explanation for that?

(1x1) Give me half an hour or so to finish dinner and have a dig through my old boot timing logs. I've seen something similar when I was working on making a laptop boot up faster turned out it was normal. Just need to check whether it is the same scripts running twice.

I managed to locate boottimes05 chart but can see no duplicated services in it - (though I would have fixed those in runs 00 through 02), *and* those charts were done with Debian4 :-( I think one of the scripts that was run twice was hwclocksomething. I used boottimes (pulled from Xandros), though Lenny provides bootchart which has similar functionality, and should allow you to (at least) find the duplicated services a little easier than digging through run levels.
