OK. I'll probably use XPSERVERLIST="`/etc/init.d/xprint get_xpserverlist || true`" then I think, on the grounds that if the local admin has made /etc/init.d/xprint non-executable, then they must really not want it executed. So I'll let the Xsession.d script honour that policy (not that I understand such a policy myself. Why would anyone want to disable execution of init scripts? Or is the idea here to disable some daemons, while still having their packages installed?) Drew -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
