Package: sysv-rc Version: 2.86.ds1-36 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch One can detect the priority level of an init script with: level=${s#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/S} level=${level%%[a-z]*}
That should be faster than using sed because sed is an external program and a complex one by the way. I wasn't able to measure any speedup, maybe because the time is dominated by other things but maybe it helps on slow processors or lower memory systems. This works with Bash and Dash, tested it on both and I maked sure that the new way is identical to the old one in behaviour. I guess its too late for Etch but anyway... Thank you. P.s.: I see that initscripts are incorporating special comments to declare dependencies, is there any aproximative timeline as to when that information will start to be used and will be required by all initscripts? --- rc.original 2007-01-10 17:10:43.000000000 -0200 +++ rc.ivan 2007-01-10 17:20:15.000000000 -0200 @@ -247,7 +247,8 @@ CURLEVEL="" for s in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/K* do - level=$(echo $s | sed 's/.*\/K\([0-9][0-9]\).*/\1/') + level=${s#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/K} + level=${level%%[a-z]*} if [ "$level" = "$CURLEVEL" ] then continue @@ -285,7 +286,8 @@ CURLEVEL="" for s in /etc/rc$runlevel.d/S* do - level=$(echo $s | sed 's/.*\/S\([0-9][0-9]\).*/\1/') + level=${s#/etc/rc$runlevel.d/S} + level=${level%%[a-z]*} if [ "$level" = "$CURLEVEL" ] then continue -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Kernel: Linux 2.6.19.1 Locale: LANG=es_UY, LC_CTYPE=es_UY (charmap=ISO-8859-1) sysv-rc depends on no packages.
