I want to use the scripts in /etc/init.d to manually start/stop daemons,
e.g. do a "xdm stop", then change the config, and finally "xdm start". I
noticed that "xdm start/stop" does not work, when called manually. This
is because it (and many other scripts) include /etc/init.d/functions,
which destroys $1 (start/stop), if $RUNLEVEL is not set (which it is not,
if I call the script by hand).
I think "functions" should restore the arguments. The following patch
makes works for me:
