This would probably work, but my original suggestion of using the LSB functions might be easier since the same script can be used on both systems without needing extra magic in the spec file. RH supports this, but I don't know anything about SuSE.
On redHat, see the redhat-lsb package. Should only have to modify the init script to use the /lib/lsb/init-functions and the spec file to use the /usr/lib/lsb/install_initd & /usr/lib/lsb/remove_initd commands instead of /sbin/chkconfig. Do these same commands/scripts exist on SuSE? ~Jason On Sat, 2006-02-25 at 02:40, Bernard Li wrote: > Turns out the scripts are already included in the source tarball > (Martin modified the Makefile) so it should just be a matter of > tweaking the spec file (which I'm in the process of doing).
