Package: netkit-inetd
Version: 0.10-10.3
Severity: wishlist
To be able to check boot script order, and also to be able to start
boot scripts in parallel, it is important to know the dependencies of
the various boot scripts. The Linux Software Base specifies a init.d
header file format useful for this purpose, and adding such header to
the netkit-inetd init.d script would make it possible to use this
information to check the current sequence and speed up the debian
boot. This work is in progress as part of "Improving the debian boot" in
<URL:http://initscripts-ng.alioth.debian.org/soc2006-bootsystem/>.
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>
explains how to make an LSB-compliant script with Debian.
The main issue is to know which scripts must executed before
netkit-inetd starts (Required-Start). Besides, which scripts should be
executed before if installed (Should-Start). The following is an example
of how it should look like:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: inetd
# Required-Start: scripts-needed
# Required-Stop: scripts-needed
# Should-Start: scripts-needed-that-may-not-be-installed
# Should-Stop: scripts-needed-that-may-not-be-installed
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: The Internet Superserver
# Description: The inetd server is a network daemon program that
# specializes in managing incoming network
# connections. It's configuration file tells it what
# program needs to be run when an incoming connection
# is received. Any service port may be configured for
# either of the tcp or udp protcols.
### END INIT INFO
I am using Debian GNU/Linux Unstable, kernel 2.6.16-2-486
