Well, I understand: things like /etc/init.d shell scripts should be decided by the system admin... Thanks to all ! But right now, I've a little problem because my server has a configuration file. I thought that the best place to place it would be the /etc folder... It seems that it's precisely the default value of $(sysconfigdir), but I don't know if it's possible to my server (my programm) knows this value from the header config.h. Furthermore, the configuration file should be placed in $(sysconfigdir) at the install process. So, Makefile should receive the value of $(sysconfigdir) from the configuration process. What should I do in my configure.ac ?... Would be necessary to make changes in my Makefile.am ? What do you suggest ?
