Perl may or may not be inevitable, but what about this in
/etc/init.d/lprng?
test -f $DAEMON -a -d /usr/doc/lprng || exit 0
Why should the operation of a daemon depend on its
documentation?
We, for example, keep our docs on a single machine
NFS mounted on our network. But now at boot time the
default script for lprng dies silently.
I'd not mind if it printed a message about where to
find docs to the console.
