And you are completely right. I didn´t know fio had this option. So I was able to shorten the init script to: DESC="Flexible I/O Tester as service" DAEMON=/usr/bin/fio DAEMON_ARGS='--server --daemonize /run/fio.pid' PIDFILE='/run/fio.pid' and in the process also improve the systemd service file, I adapted from what was in the upstream source as an example. Now I just need to dig out how to integrate the init script, but I think its a simple override of dh_installinit with "--no-enable" as a parameter. I do not want the service to run by default. Thanks for your remark that helped to improve that package even further. BTW: I also accept other configuration files of other init, as long as someone writes and tests them. Maybe I can go by example here and show that it is possible to have init freedom in packages I maintain. :) Thanks, -- Martin _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
