There should be an tiemout so that the system boots even if I forget to choose (for example if I want to connect to the system by remote, and sshd isn´t startet yet). E.g. something like a global ASK_DELAY="sec" default set to 3sec or so, and adjustable by the variable. (and maybe adjustable for every demon individual) The DAEMON_enable variable should be set to ASK_DY to start after the default timeout and ASK_DN to not start after the timeout. It should also be possible to use the short form [y/n] while booting in addition to yes/no to start the deamon, and when I misstype, the variable should be set to "no" so that there is no errormessage from the rc system. greetings
