I noticed someone was wrong on the Internet, and decided to follow up on this old thread.

Is there a reason for this? Before concurrent running of init.d scripts were implemented in sysv-rc, the .sh scripts would be sourced by /etc/init.d/rc and /etc/init.d/rcS while the non-.sh scripts would be executed. This distinciton were removed when sysv-rc started to run scripts in parallell, as it no longer made sense. > So my question was not too stupid :) Not at all. :) -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
