Package: sysvinit Version: 2.87dsf-2 Severity: wishlist If two or more programs are due to be started in the same order, why not run them at the time to speed up booting especially on multi-cored CPUs.
e.g. lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2009-07-28 09:20 S16nfs-user-server -> ../init.d/nfs-user-server lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 2009-07-28 09:20 S16rsyslog -> ../init.d/rsyslog lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 2009-07-28 09:20 S16samba -> ../init.d/samba lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 2009-07-28 09:20 S16sysklogd -> ../init.d/sysklogd These are started one after each other, yet they are all S16, so they can be started at the same time. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.30-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages sysvinit depends on: ii initscripts 2.87dsf-2 scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.9-23 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libselinux1 2.0.82-1 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 2.0.36-1 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii sysv-rc 2.87dsf-2 System-V-like runlevel change mech ii sysvinit-utils 2.87dsf-2 System-V-like utilities sysvinit recommends no packages. sysvinit suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
