Are you talking about svc? Actually I did not create them and never understood the need for them My take is to keep everything in rc.init resp. rc.exit. I don't need on demand services. If something should run as a daemon then it either daemonized itself in the -d tradition or one uses some small helper daemonizer. But still, I only need init and exit, no extra on demand runlevel or whatever. Actually I'm considering taking the stali approach a bit further than just having a source-oriented target-compile. I'm considering to also have a source-oriented configuration with a static target setup. In other words, if one sees the need to "configure" stali, one does it in its source, similar to the tradition of config.h instead. This particularly applies for rc.init/exit. Cheers, Anselm
