I am not saying it is required to be compliant, I'm saying that it is
syntactically correct. I may be wrong, but I hold to what I say. In
the old chkconfig method you defined start and stop order, and orders
it should be on in when enabled. Why would you not do the same in the
new? Yes, it is not defined as a required option, and some might
consider it such. However, we are defining the appropriate run levels
for the service to be running in when it is enabled. Thus going back
to what I said before. Maybe when we do the installation of
certmaster, we should then ensure that it is disabled. If we take out
the Default-{Start,Stop} lines we can accomplish this, but then aren't
properly defining what run levels it should run in as well. This is
the approach Apache (or red hat) seems to have taken in the example
you provide, but does not mean it is the only or that there is only
one right way. At this point its just personal preference on which
way is better to implement it, as they provide very similar (all be
it, not the same) results.
I am interpreting from the Default-{Start,Stop} definitions in the
LSB: http://refspecs.linux-foundation.org/LSB_3.2.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/initscrcomconv.html
