I looked at /etc/init.d/checkroot.sh and it contais this (among others):
if [ "$doswap" = yes ]
then
[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_success_msg "Activating swap..."
swapon -a 2> /dev/null
[ "$VERBOSE" != no ] && log_end_msg $?
fi
Am I right that log_success_msg is the LSB function, which, according to
you above, should _not_ be used?
