i do not like too much that, what does this bring more (except: back compat issue) ? Dependencies ? as acox say it could be in the files himself. I guess it could be doable in the current sysv scheme. The main rant of Richard for the current Sysv scheme is : --=-=-= The problem with all this, if it isn't obvious already, is that it's complex.

If that doesn't convince you, consider the number of words required to describe this scheme. Note how the BSD-style scheme is much easier to describe (and by extension, understand). --=-=-= i do no understand what the problem if we use tools like chkconfig(8)... -- MandrakeSoft Inc http://www.chmouel.org --Chmouel
