A rough idea how this check could look like: 1/ grep for Default-Start and Default-Stop in the LSB header 2/ To check if a service is enabled: for i in Default-Start: check if /etc/rc$i.d/S??$service for i in Default-Stop: check if /etc/rc$i.d/K??$service if all of those checks are true, is-enabled returns true 3/ To check if a service is disabled: for i in Default-Start: check if exists /etc/rc$i.d/K??$service for i in Default-Stop: check if /etc/rc$i.d/K??$service if all of those checks are true, is-enabled returns false
otherwise return unknown. I'm not quite sure yet how to map that to return codes, i.e. if we treat unknown as enabled or disabled. Probably the latter. Roger, do you know of a better idea to implement this check? Does that check work correctly for rcS services? A few examples: a/ typical multi-user service: rsyslog root@pluto:~# grep -E "Default-Start|Default-Stop" /etc/init.d/rsyslog # Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 # Default-Stop: 0 1 6 root@pluto:~# ls /etc/rc?.d/???rsyslog /etc/rc0.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc1.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc2.d/S01rsyslog /etc/rc3.d/S01rsyslog /etc/rc4.d/S01rsyslog /etc/rc5.d/S01rsyslog /etc/rc6.d/K04rsyslog root@pluto:~# update-rc.d rsyslog disable update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `rsyslog' overrides LSB defaults (2 3 4 5). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (0 1 2 3 4 5 6) of script `rsyslog' overrides LSB defaults (0 1 6). root@pluto:~# ls /etc/rc?.d/???rsyslog /etc/rc0.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc1.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc2.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc3.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc4.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc5.d/K04rsyslog /etc/rc6.d/K04rsyslog b/ rcS-type service: hdparm root@pluto:~# grep -E "Default-Start|Default-Stop" /etc/init.d/hdparm # Default-Start: S # Default-Stop: root@pluto:~# ls /etc/rc?.d/???hdparm /etc/rcS.d/S05hdparm root@pluto:~# update-rc.d hdparm disable update-rc.d: using dependency based boot sequencing insserv: warning: current start runlevel(s) (empty) of script `hdparm' overrides LSB defaults (S). insserv: warning: current stop runlevel(s) (S) of script `hdparm' overrides LSB defaults (empty). root@pluto:~# ls /etc/rc?.d/???hdparm /etc/rcS.d/K05hdparm Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
