Your making a joke right? I've never looked at the source for update-rc.d. Have no idea what it is written in. Hmmm, just looked and it's written in Perl. I created it to manage an LFS system. Even if it was a clone as you say, what difference would it make? It's what I use to manage my links to /etc/init.d, which was what the original poster requested. kent

That's a relief:) Actually I created it to use on a non-debian system. After having looked and realized that update-rc.d is a Perl script, I could have copied it over to my other system but I didn't know that at the time. The original poster wasn't satisfied with update-rc.d so I just posted what I used as requested, in the hopes it would help out. kent
