Leave those K > links alone (after all you DO want to stop the service before a reboot or > shutdown), and the package will not reinstall links. That is what I was asking. So in order for the links NOT to be reinstalled on an upgrade, the K links must remain. So is the following okay to prevent link reinstallation: # update-rc.d -f timidity remove update-rc.d: /etc/init.d/timidity exists during rc.d purge (continuing) Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/timidity ... /etc/rc0.d/K99timidity /etc/rc1.d/K99timidity /etc/rc2.d/S99timidity /etc/rc3.d/S99timidity /etc/rc4.d/S99timidity /etc/rc5.d/S99timidity /etc/rc6.d/K99timidity # update-rc.d timidity stop 20 0 1 6 . Adding system startup for /etc/init.d/timidity ... /etc/rc0.d/K20timidity -> ../init.d/timidity /etc/rc1.d/K20timidity -> ../init.d/timidity /etc/rc6.d/K20timidity -> ../init.d/timidity -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
