$all do not work the way you think. :) I'm told by the insserv author that all init.d scripts are sorted into a global dependency based ordering across all runlevels. This is used to decide the order number for each script. When this is done, all scripts depending on $all is assigned the highest order number plus one, to ensure they all end up at the end of the boot sequence. Because of this, I recommend to avoid $all if at all possible. It do not work the way most people (myself included) expect, and can lead to incorrect boot ordering if a script depend on a script which in turn depend on $all. -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
