I have made a wrapper to start-stop-daemon that had a new cmdline option, -B |
--background, that allows daemons to be started in the background
asynchronosly. This would allow the login prompt to appear sooner, and would
make Debian appear to be a faster loading system.
Below is the script to do this. It might be too late to do this for 2.0, but
I would like to see some descision on this for 2.1.
