Package: initscripts
Version: 2.88dsf-41
Severity: normal
Running Wheezy, I noticed one of my services (from a third party vendor)
was not started when system booted. All seemed to be fine (LSB headers,
required services, links under defined runlevels...). The service (an
utility to monitor UPS units) could be started manually ("service upsmon
start") with no problem at all.
By digging a bit more into this, I remembered "concurrency" was the
default since squeeze and it could be disable by setting
"CONCURRENY=none" in "/etc/default/rcS" but this seems to be no more an
option ("man rcS" neither mentions this variable).
So I wondered how could I disable concurrency.
The answer was under "/etc/init.d/rc" script itself by creating an empty
file "/etc/init.d/.legacy-bootordering" that sets CONCURRENY variable to
"none") but I don't think is a convenient place to document this option.
P.S. The above mentioned service was indeed unable to start with
concurrency "on" but worked fine with the old sequential booting method.
