I beg to differ. I've had to create or modify initscripts quite often, either as a sysadmin or a packager. If this is now going to require C coding skills, I'm not going to be able to do it. I don't think it's safe to assume that everyone who needs to write or modify an initscript is going to know C. What about people who write apps that need initscripts in some other language? -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
