Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.11 Severity: wishlist Currently, a change in the command line given as the --exec argument for start-stop-daemon within /etc/init.d/ scripts requires the user to edit the init script itself. For example, if I want to run smbd as `schedtool -B smbd`, in order to preserve my system resources, I would have to change the /etc/init.d/samba script. Now, this is not a good thing to do as the init scripts in many cases do much work, and being a config file, changes will not preserved across upgrades, and the user cannot make use of possible enhancements to the init script. An alternative would be to provide each start-stop-daemon a 'tag name' and a default command line for the exec. start-stop-daemon then can look up a global config file and check if the user has chosen to override the command name for the given tag, and behave appropriately.
