Package: lighttpd Version: 1.4.19-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
lighttpd is the perfect choice for a test webserver for CGI programs. But one does not need it running all the time, specially on laptops. I wanted a way to have lighttpd installed, but disabled, so I not waste RAM and CPU during most of the time when I don't need it. When I need it, I can manually start it with a custom configuration file, and with my regular user account. Please consider applying the attached patch. It makes possible to disable lighttpd by creating /etc/default/lighttpd with a line like this: DISABLE_LIGHTTPD=Y The patch does not introduce any bashisms in the initscript, and seems to work well on my system.
