Some people are not only bugged, but change packages etc, for example [1] + + sed -i -e 's,egrep,grep -E,g' $PKG/usr/lib/postfix/postfix-{,tls-}script [1] https://crux.nu/gitweb/?p=ports/opt.git;a=commitdiff;h=9abc4acf99d1c3f41cfc5968ee1df45fdc8ab285 Also /var/log/messages from "somewhere", which is locatable for my sequential daemon startup script Feb 27 17:46:24 (none) /root/bin/net-qos.sh/START: Daemon postfix starting Feb 27 17:46:24 (none) /root/bin/net-qos.sh/START: In startup; postfix is picky, sleeping 5 to let devices settle Feb 27 17:46:24 (none) /root/bin/net-qos.sh/START: egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E but that may not be true on boxes with massively async startup. --Steffen Schönbein
