Hello Roger

Yes, the man page says it swaps the S for a K. e.g. say we have the following link: /etc/rc2.d/K10cups Then afaik - and please correct if i am wrong - init will call the stop part of this initscript when ever runlevel 2 is entered. So basically during each boot process. Why should we spent resources on that? Therefor rc-update() places those links instead only in runlevel 1 where they might even be useful without wasting time on them during bootup, nor shutdown. -- Regards, Thilo 4096R/0xC70B1A8F 721B 1BA0 095C 1ABA 3FC6 7C18 89A4 A2A0 C70B 1A8F -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
