So I am not really sure what you meant by "reading the new
directives at boot time". Which directive would that be, where
is it located and which package provides that?
You read things like
# Provides
and
# Required-Start
to generate an Epoch configuration in /etc/epoch.conf (or some other
filename). Epoch then reads that file to generate an Epoch configuration in
RAM.
What I am saying is: Why bother with generating the configuration file? Why
not just generate the in-RAM configuration? That is, why not teach Epoch a
new configuration option, documented as following: "When you enable this
option, Epoch reads the LSB-Start-Before and ... options in /etc/init.d/*,
and starts servers accordingly. Note that Epoch does not run /etc/init.d/*,
it merely reads the LSB-Start-Before and ..."
This is tricky. It's quite possible that doing this directly is a bad idea,
and that it actually is better to use the detour via the config file.
