It, too, will be # non-standard, but at least it won't be traceable to the One True System. As for me, this ^^^ is a reasonable approach. I personally think -- the only excuse for the incompatibility in this case may be simplicity. Run levels? comparatively complex approach (does the benefits of it worth the effort?) and will be incompatible with SysV anyway (at least for a long time it will take to polish this stuff). Simple "agreement" about presence of 'start' and 'stop' scripts for certain kinds of services in some one or two exactly known and documented places? _Much_ simplier and seems to be pretty useful, because it saves a time for lurking and figuring "how to launch/terminate the damn thing _correctly_". -- With best regards -- Andrew Stesin. +380 (44) 2760188 +380 (44) 2713457 +380 (44) 2713560
