In this case the executable in question is in fact a bash script that appears to be a distro-specific enhancement...but an upstream deliverable. So it definitely appears as if the distro maintainer for this package have the leeway to move the functions into the "wrapper" executable script instead of letting them linger in the init "config" Why these were put in the initscript instead of the executable wrapper would seem to be an arbitrary decision allowed only because we've historically had a very fuzzy boundary between config and execution logic at the distribution level. -jef -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
