There is no requirement in the LSB for any system scripts to be LSB compliant, and it can cause issues with ordering. 2) Various times it is stated that: ... Note: Fedora's init daemons (sysvinit, upstart) do not currently use non-system boot facilities defined in the <some LSB> line when ordering initscripts. Fedora packagers must ensure that they have priority ordering set correctly in the chkconfig header. ... This is incorrect. What happens is that on script enablement (chkconfig --add) and script activation/deactivation (chkconfig on/chkconfig off) the LSB dependencies are read, and the start and stop priorities of the scripts are then adjusted to satisfy those dependencies. What this means: - dependencies are honored (albeit in a static mechanism) - if you use LSB headers, your start and stop priority may end up being different than what's in the chkconfig: line This is the same for both upstart (as it is implemented now) and sysvinit. 3) Standardizing on try-restart when we have generally accepted use of 'condrestart' seems problematic.
