better init.d/* : who carres ?

[Marc Chantreux]

Hi all,

there are a lot of things in /etc/init.d/*, and {pre,post}inst
scripts that can be rewritten more efficiently ( i think ).

for example, in /etc/init.d/mysqld

mysqld_get_param() {
        /usr/sbin/mysqld --print-defaults \
                | tr " " "\n" \
                | grep -- "--$1" \
                | tail -n 1 \
                | cut -d= -f2
}

can be written like :

mysqld_get_param () {
    local string=$( /usr/sbin/mysqld --print-defaults | grep -o -- "--$1=[^ ]*" 
)
    echo ${string#*=}
}

that are not bugs so i wonder if package maintainers where pleased if i
reportbug those lines as wishlist.

can you advice me? 

regards
mc
