My sarcasm detector went off with this one, so I'll try to intervene. AFAIK the Gentoo /etc/rc does the following: 1. for all init.d scripts, read it, call depend(), determine its dependencies, store its start() function somewhere; 2. for all dependency-ordered determined, call the start() functions paralelizing when possiblealso sprach Bastian Blank <waldi@debian.org> [2005.04.01.2104 +0200]:Uh, this looks like a "pull" type of thing in which ever init.d script starts its dependencies. I don't think this is a good idea.No, it is not. The dependencies are cached.Cached? As in queried beforehand? As in two-pass algorithm, once iterating init.d with 'depends' as option, then with 'start' ? Yeah, that sounds nice.
And, yes, it's very nice. HTH Massa
