There are two separate things here: 1) Use LSB for OS-provided init scripts 2) Support third-party LSB init scripts Now 2) makes sense, but I don't see a lot of value generally in 1) - particularly since most of these init scripts are just a big copy&paste mess of shell script that can be effectively replaced by a single Upstart line like: exec /usr/libexec/mydaemon To take a concrete example from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246884 This would be the startup script: pre-start script if ! /sbin/lsmod | grep -q cachefiles; then modprobe cachefiles; fi end script exec /sbin/cachefilesd 85 lines of shell goo down to 4. And it'd just be 1 if the logic for the kernel module was in the daemon itself (as I would argue it should be). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
