i didn't mean to remove the note that things are linux specific but just split up the annex location. let each section or paragraph have it's own annex. for example the section on /sbin would read: 3.16. /sbin : System binaries 3.16.1. Purpose Utilities used for system administration (and other root-only commands) are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin. /sbin contains binaries essential for booting, restoring, recovering, and/or repairing the system in addition to the binaries in /bin. [19] Programs executed after /usr is known to be mounted (when there are no problems) are generally placed into /usr/sbin. Locally-installed system administration programs should be placed into /usr/local/sbin. [20] 3.16.2. Requirements There must be no subdirectories in /sbin. The following commands, or symbolic links to commands, are required in /sbin: Command Description shutdown Command to bring the system down. 3.16.3. Specific Options The following files, or symbolic links to files, must be in /sbin if the corresponding subsystem is installed: ..... 3.16.4 Linux (from 6.1.6) Linux systems place commands relating to filesystem maintenance and boot loader management into /sbin. Optional files for /sbin: Static binaries: ldconfig sln ssync ..... 3.16.5 OpenBSD /sbin is not allowed to contain any dynamically linked binaries, but only static binaries and sh(1) scripts 3.16.6 Hurd ..... so everything that is now in the linux annex would still be in a linux specific subsection, but together with the main section on that topic. the text would remain exactly the same. no rewording needs to be done for this, just moving around of the respective subsections. greetings, martin. -- cooperative communication with sTeam - caudium, pike, roxen and unix services: debugging, programming, training, linux sysadmin, web development -- pike programmer working in china community.gotpike.org foresight developer (open-steam|caudium).org foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin iaeste.at realss.com Martin Bähr http://www.iaeste.at/~mbaehr/ is.schon.org _______________________________________________ fhs-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/fhs-discuss
