I have been looking at the lsb init functions and am beginning to feel that they are a bad idea.
* Converting to lsb init function requires modifying every initscript in Debian. * Every initscript has to read in a file containing a set of function definitions, some/most of which the initscript does not use. * The lsb functions don't handle all the kinds of output currently produced by initscripts. * Success/failure status has to be signalled using a special function, whereas this information is (or should be) already available as the exit status of the initscript. I think it would be better if we simply made rc capture initscripts' standard output (and exit status) and formatted it in such a way that bootup messages were prettier. -- Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
