To be able to check boot script order, and also to be able to start boot scripts in parallel, it is important to know the dependencies of the various boot scripts. The Linux Software Base specifies a init.d header file format useful for this purpose, and adding such header to the anacron init.d script would make it possible for me to use this information to check the current sequence and to speed up the debian boot. I am working on a system to update the boot sequence based on these dependencies, and would like see this as the default in Lenny. Because of this, it is nice if the dependencies was updated quickly. <URL:http://refspecs.freestandards.org/LSB_2.1.0/LSB-generic/LSB-generic/initscrcomconv.html> documents the LSB header format. Some debian notes are available from <URL:http://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts>. Here is a patch to document the dependencies. I hope this is correct. diff -ur dictd-1.10.2.dfsg.orig/debian/dictd dictd-1.10.2.dfsg/debian/dictd --- dictd-1.10.2.dfsg.orig/debian/dictd 2008-01-11 10:23:10.000000000 +0100 +++ dictd-1.10.2.dfsg/debian/dictd 2008-01-11 10:45:47.000000000 +0100 @@ -1,4 +1,12 @@ #! /bin/sh +### BEGIN INIT INFO +# Provides: dictd +# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog +# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 +# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 +# Short-Description: Start and stop dictionary server daemon +### END INIT INFO # # Script to start and stop dictionary server daemon (/usr/sbin/dictd) # written by Bob Hilliard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 15 April 1988, last As the stop script do not seem to do much except killing the daemons, that task might be better left to the sendsigs script in runlevel 0 and 6. If this is indeed the case, I recommend removing 0 and 6 from the Default-Stop list. It might be needed to add code in the daemon to remove the pid file for this to work properly.
