I made this suggestion earlier on d-u. Sean Perry thought it worth posting here: This question (where do I put local init.d scripts) comes up enough that a policy ought IMVAO be set for it. Viz: any rc script named local-foo is considered local and sacrosanct by the system, where "-foo" could have any arbitrary value, including null (for the single instance of a local script). But this way I could, say, run four local webservers as local-apache-mydom0, local-apache-mydom1, local-apache-mydom2, and local-apache-mydom3, without worrying about how they're treated by Debian. So: /etc/init.d/local: Arbitrary local commands /etc/init.d/local-squid: A locally maintained (and possibly separate instance of a) squid proxy Thoughts? -- Karsten M.
