Sure, but that means editting /etc/inittab in postinst. I don't
disagree, but there is a bug open against sysvinit that asks for
inittab being a conffile which means postinst cannot edit it.
Besides, I've decided bootlogd sucks anyway.
It would be much better if /etc/init.d/rc simply started the
scripts in /etc/rc?.d directories through a script(1) like wrapper.
The wrapper would write to /var/log/boot.log directly if it was
writable. Otherwise it would connect to a bootlogd-like
in-memory buffer process through a UNIX socket or pipe, spawning
it if it didn't run yet. Much less fragile.
Mike.
This looks great in my opinion (i always agree with upstream :) no
kidding ). Much like dmesg. I feel showing verbose message is good only
that ojn current best one have to be superman to follow the flood !
