Debhelper (and one of the other helper things) does this, if you
don't call dh_installinit with the --no-restart-on-upgrade (or such)
option. I guess the reasoning is that (a) you're upgrading in multiuser
mode because debian lets you :-) (b) in multiuser mode the daemon was
running.
It's unfortunate that there's no easy way to find the current runlevel
(the usual "who -r" from Solaris etc. doesn't work), otherwise this
piece of code could be used:
RL=`who -r`
if [ -x /etc/rc$RC.d/S??$PKGNAME ]; then
/etc/rc$RC.d/S??$PKGNAME start
fi
That's ignoring file-rc, unfortunately. Is there an easy way of
determining whether a certain init.d script should be started in
the current runlevel that works also with file-rc ?
