You are assuming that all the knobs in init scripts are there deliberately and written correctly. I think it's more reasonable to assume that init scripts have evolved over time, often as part of a learning process by the developers. Lots of strange stuff that you will find in init scripts is obviously not something that a developer would do if they knew what they were doing. Also I think that a large problem with init scripts is that there are too many knobs. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
