Hi,
I played around with a LSB init script under Squeeze(init is from
sysvinit package version 2.88dsf-13.1+squeeze1) for learning purposes.
My script is following:
# cat /etc/init.d/test-script
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: test
# Required-Start: $all
# Required-Stop: $all
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: test script
# Description: test script
### END INIT INFO
# always executes
touch /tmp/test-file
case "$1" in
start)
echo "Starting script test"
touch /tmp/test-file-start
;;
stop)
echo "Stopping script test"
touch /tmp/test-file-stop
;;
restart)
echo "Restarting script test"
touch /tmp/test-file-restart
;;
force-reload)
echo "Force-reloading script test"
touch /tmp/test-file-force-reload
;;
status)
echo "Status of test"
touch /tmp/test-file-status
;;
*)
echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/test {start|stop}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
#
As a next step, I made the /etc/init.d/test-script file executable and
added a symlink to /etc/rc3.d/("ln -s ../init.d/test-script
/etc/rc3.d/S23test-script") directory and changed my runlevel from
2(default) to 3 with "init 3". However, the test-script was not
started. Then I made a symlink to /etc/rc2.d/ directory:
# file /etc/rc2.d/S23test-script
/etc/rc2.d/S23test-script: symbolic link to `../init.d/test-script'
#
..and reloaded the machine, but still the script was not started. If I
install the script with insserv("insserv /etc/init.d/test-script")
then the script is started if I reload the machine. Am I correct that
both insserv and update-rc.d take some additional steps when enabling
the script besides installing the symlinks and those steps are
required by /sbin/init? I guess one thing is .depend.boot,
.depend.start and .depend.stop files, but something else?
regards,
Martin
