ccsanady@nyx.pr.mcs.net said: :- And the two-digit prefix? These are no more than a hack aimed at :- solving the dependancy problem I've often tought about *that* part. I think that it would be better if the individual rc scripts would provide *shell functions* to start, stop, etc. It would also provide a declaration section that would define which things the package *requires*. You could then tsort the total list of dependencies (from an outer *control* script) and execute the appropriate functions in the required order. I *hate* the stupid ``run-levels'' symlink stuff. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, Tel: +1 617 592 8935, Net: witr@rwwa.COM
