I have uploaded to http://people.debian.org/~hmh/ a paper about init scripts and Debian. People attending my talk about init scripts at debconf2 should try to read that paper before the conference. "System Init Scripts and the Debian O.S.", abstract: This paper describes the System V, OpenBSD / FreeBSD, NetBSD and Debian 3.0 init script systems. Some new proposals made by third-parties for init script systems are also described, with emphasis on Richard Gooch's simpleinit system. The system init script abstraction and policy layer currently being deployed in Debian for the release after 3.0 is described in detail. Changes to that abstraction layer are proposed to allow for dependency-based init script systems in Debian. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them. In the Land of Redmond where the shadows lie." -- The Silicon Valley Tarot Henrique Holschuh
