tlambert@primenet.com said: :- How do you propose to solve the Solaris binary compatability problem :- for commercial Solaris applications that install components into the :- rc.d directories The same way all of these kinds of problems are solved. By having a port for the app that fixes the install.. :- in order to get them run at the correct time and in :- the correct order for dependent services requirements? Well, that's the problem, isn't it? How can they ever be sure that they are running things in the "correct order" unless they have global knowlege of every possible application that requires startup services, which they can never have. This is the fundamentally broken part of the SYSV startup services design. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Robert Withrow, R.W.
