Hi Jari, I'm not sure that's necessary. Normally sysv init scripts print along a line 'Starting foo daemon... done' when starting a service. If it doesn't print anything, doesn't this already tell that starting the service didn't work out? Silently exiting with zero is also what Debian policy suggests if a daemon program is not executable. Thanks, Gerrit. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
