ALL of them?

not per se, mostly trying to get some sense in the madness. Mostly, it's doing the ones in the base spell set and kicking feedback on problems to the spell maintainers on the others. I've bashed all together maybe 3 or 4 from scratch, mostly it's find someone else's who has done it better than we currently do and tighten it up a bit.


I figure the spell will be out mid september, maybe. Thanks for your work!

These work on my system, your mileage may vary, etc...

I didn't send the whole lot to the list because I forgot to hit reply all, so I have reattached.

Something I think we need is a means of controlling runlevel installation
at casting time, stored in the spell's config file. I envision something
like this:

snipped; this has been discussed. Mostly discarded because the idea is to do the configure up front. HOWEVER! This is a great idea for a CONFIGURE file...

...and so on. The question about adding kill links to 0 and 6 isn't
necessary with some things (e.g. filesystems that mount.sh stop will kill,
checkfs) but you get the idea. Should we do this? Anyone know of a program
that does this already?

Working on a version of chkconfig for the implementation, which could be used to do that. There is a bash level editor I was wasting time on; but it didn't do a couple of things and I couldn't get it to work right in any event, either before changes or after.

These are good ideas, you wanna help out? The pay is lousy, but you get to work your own hours. Taking your idea there and making it into a CONFIGURE file would be great!
