[Dr. Werner Fink] > Hmmm ... stderr maybe, something like I do not know, but suspect stderr is a pipe too. Is a tty required to run scripts in parallel? Lets keep this discussion CCed to the BTS (584...@bugs.debian.org).

Could work simliar like the > process_path() routine of simpleinit ;) upstart is getting support for handling init.d scripts natively, so that will be an alternative too. Would be nice to get startpar to start rcS.d/ and rc2.d/ at once, to maximize concurrency, as Debian uses init.d scripts also for the early boot. Also, would be nice to get dynamic resolution of $remote_fs, to let it be equal to $local_fs if no networked file systems are listed in /etc/fstab. :) Not sure how hard that would be. Lets continue this part of the discussion without CC-ing the BTS. Happy hacking, -- Petter Reinholdtsen
