It would be useful if update-rc.d were enhanced so that it stored the configuration that it applies in a database. (This could be a set of files named like the services.) The database would contain the "factory default" runlevel configurations for all services. Each time update-rc.d is run it would update the information in this database.
Implementing the database wouldn't be too hard. update-rc.d should simply do its thing twice: once to /etc/rc?.d/ and once to /var/lib/rc/update/start/rc?.d/ and /var/lib/rc/update/stop/rc?.d/ (start links in the former, stop links in the latter). -- Thomas Hood -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
