Re: removed start links are back after upgrade
Will Lowe [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Given that this comes up so often, is there a reason not to add an option to update-rc.d that does this? The problem here is that remove sounds like disable this. I'm thinking have update-rc.d -f foo disable do the same thing as update-rc.d -f foo remove update-rc.d foo stop stop 0, and clearly document this in the manual page, so that sysadmins can do what they think they're doing when they use remove. A very good idea, but Bug #67095 is unfortunately tagged wontfix. He suggested using sysv-rc-conf, but then I have to install additional packages libcurses-perl, libcurses-ui-perl and libterm-readkey-perl which I didn't used before. That's not my understanding of one task, one tool. Kindly regards, Erik -- www.ErikSchanze.de * Bitte keine HTML-E-Mails! No HTML mails, please! Limit: 100 kB * * Linux-Info-Tag in Dresden, am 29.

That's not my understanding of one task, one tool. Then use rcconf which has less dependencies (perl and whiptail). It does exactly as suggested above: * remove existing symlinks * add stop with priority 0 * remember original priorities when enabling them later on And the last point is actually very convenient. So I don't really see the added value in a disable function for update-rc.d, because update-rc.d doesn't remember the priorities. http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/rcconf -Olaf -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
