This could be documented better). I guess you figured this out > after having written this mail? Yes, indeed, sorry, that's correct. This is the mail message that got stuck behind the buggy virus definition, and I forgot to go back and update it with the current results. What I uploaded went back to using a script for the whole thing: pre-start script test -x /usr/sbin/lbcd || { stop; exit 0; } end script # To change the default lbcd service, specify a command to run for the # weight and interval, or do round-robin (-R), add the flags to # DAEMON_OPTS in /etc/default/lbcd. This will ensure consistent # behavior across all init systems. script if [ -f /etc/default/lbcd ] ; then . /etc/default/lbcd fi exec /usr/sbin/lbcd -f -l -Z $DAEMON_OPTS end script -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
