I fully understand that you as the Grand Master of the Debian init system might be annoyed by such a question, but why reply, then? That said, I usually appreciate RTFM pointers - in this case however I have read the FM in question. (policy manual, sec 3.3) All I could find was that "update-rc.d" by default stops stuff in 0/6, = creates a K* symlink. (That it does...) However, this does not explain why all the _existing_ S??something scripts in 0/6 are called with stop. (The manual states repeatedly that S* scripts will be called with start.) I'd be grateful if you could take the time to clarify this - a pointer'd do nicely. Regards Christian
