Ah yes I forgot dbus starts it not rc?.d.. oops..
What would you propose is the best solution?
Given dbus starts it.. im thinking perhaps we could move the default
start behavior to ONLY affect the dbus script and leave /etc/inti.d
/avahi-daemon to
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 56426 ***
I'd argue that
/etc/inti.d/avahi-daemon start
should start it unconditionally and then the toggling on and off should
be done with the addition or removal of symlinks. That's how rcX.d works
and it looks like that's how dbus works too.
rcX.d comes

I am very very +1 on what Fergal has to say.

I have avahi daemon installed but it's isn't mentioned in /etc/rc?.d and
I can't find anything in /etc that wants to invoke it. I presume this is
all related to upstart but I don't really know what's going on.
By all means have a script for controlling the daemon however you like
but you
Fergal: you can run the script with /etc/init.d/avahi-daemon (dont
forgot to also fix the /etc/default/avahi file)
Please note that with the change to upstart in ubuntu I beleive the
/etc/rc?.d stuff has changed but I'm not really familiar with the
changes there (they are backwards compatible,
My point is that this is the only initscript in the world which has a
don't forget to tweak the obscure ACTUALLY_DO_WHAT_I_SAY setting
warning to it. Worse still, it doesn't even have the warning _attached_
to it, you have to find out by debugging the initscript.
I doubt I'm the only person who's
Actually it's not the only package, I know among other things bittorrent
and rsync have this option, and it's there so that avahi can be
installed by default but not enabled on an ubuntu system.
Yes it is a little confusing, that is unfortunate.
As for upstart/rc?.d links, thats the price of
Surprisingly there are others too - bootlogd and tomcat for example but
that doesn't make it right.
I found the following

One other thing, in relation to the other bug you mention. Initscripts
should _need_ to print things out or test for interactivity. They should
just do what they've always done and start/stop services.
If it's correct to add this code to avahi's initscript then it should
really be added to every
The purpose this serves is that avahi-daemon will now be installed by
default, but we do not want it to start by default, this is an option
provided by the network preferences.
This is somewhat slightly confusing, but it's been determined the 'best'
way to do this
