Hi, During the development of gService (runlevel editor), i noticed that quite a lot of services (init scripts) still use the old method of starting/stopping services. (check inetd for example)
The problem with these scripts is that they lack status checking.
(service <name> status). status checking is required by gService for
proper functioning.
I have made a list of packages (sorted by maintainer) that contain old
init scripts or some even newer ones but with missing status checking
support. I would request the respective maintainers to convert these
scripts to the new format with status checking support. You may want to
refer rc.crond (provided by the dcron package) for an example.
Also, if some devs are busy, i am willing to help. Just let me know if
you need help.
