Right. And why does it not work to simply disable the service by replacing start symlinks with stop symlinks in runlevels 2-5? It is as far as know, the only way to disable a service and get predictable behaviour. > The point is, that invoke-rc.d and /etc/init.d/rc treat this 3rd > choice in an inconsistent way. invoke-rc.d starts the service, if > the symlink is missing. /etc/init.d/rc doesn't. This is what I mean by 'undefined'. The handling of 'no symlink' is not well defined, and you get unexpected behaviour. :) Anyway, if I understand this request correctly, you want us to look into how invoke-rc.d treat the lack of a symlink in the current runlevel, and avoid starting services if no symlink is present.
