Hi List, Just a quick question:
I really enjoy using the scripts in /etc/init.d for starting, stopping and restarting services because it makes me feel like I'm safe doing it the Debian way. I have one gripe however --- when they don't work, they don't tell you. I have seen very few /etc/init.d scripts that give useful error messages, most seem to exit with no error when they have a problem, which means you have to carefully read through the scripts yourself to find where it's dying. Is there a reason for this? I have the same problem with scripts in /etc/cron.daily and friends, if they don't work, it can be really hard to figure out why because no error messages are mailed and there's no /var/log/cron.log as mentioned in the README.Debian file. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a good reason for this, I'd just like to know what it is. Can someone enlighten me?
