If I have a serviced service stack which depends on some httpd daemon to operate correctly, and the service dependencies are generated to make sure that one of the installed httpd daemon runs on start up. How do I go about making sure that one and only one of the following httpd servers of my choosing starts up? apache httpd or lighttpd or cherokee >From a packaging standpoing our packages use the virtual provide : webserver. But how do we as administrators make sure that the non-default webserver we want used is used in our init stack? There's no sysconfig for this is there? There's no prefhttpd that fills the role of the prefdm logic. So what's the general solution for choice among equals among services at init? Is prefdm and /etc/sysconfig/desktop like constructions really what we want to replicate as the best practice way of dealing with this ? -jef -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
