Hiya gang.
For the longest time, I thought "SysV"-style init specifically meant the
sort of init that looked like this (like on RH-based distros):
Starting some_odd_service [ OK ]
Starting doomed_to_fail_server [FAILED]
..and that Debian's init was "something else" (I didn't know a name):
Starting mail agent: exim4
Starting something else: somethingelsed
But just now, I read something that called Debian's initscripts "...a
clean implementation of SysV boot scripts..." so now I'm not so sure.
Unfortunately, I won't help much, but, I'm afraid to say, that they are
BOTH SysV boot systems. The "[ OK ]" is just eye-candy. SysV init
describes the internal workings of the boot system, not how it appears.
well that's the "explanation" part, so thank you! Now all I need to
know is how to either get the eye-candy on a Debian system, or get
aptitude on an RPM-based system.
