OK. You want to be able to invoke the daemon when you want it, and you also never want it invoked automatically at boot. There have been complaints about the complexity of /etc/init.d/xprint as an init script. I think your request can be met if I/we can find a clean way to shift all this complexity into a /usr/sbin/xprint script. Then you can invoke it directly, and /etc/init.d/xprint can become much simpler (and still check /etc/default/xprint). > (I see they are discussing things like this in > Re: not starting packages at boot > in debian-devel, maybe a better solution will come of this.)
