Hi all,
As of now, the ${required_*} variables work only in rc.d scripts
using the default start method. I've found that making ${required_*}
work in scripts that override the default start method can help us
to reduce code duplication in /etc/rc.d. In particular, I'd like
to introduce ${required_modules} because quite a few scripts have
to have a prestart method just to load a kernel module.
Do you think such change would make sense? Thanks.
Its prototype can be found in my P4 tree:
