Re: [SLE] rc3.d changed by yast

I suggest changing the dependencies and rerunning innserv, instead of manually changing the symlinks. That way you know if SuSEconfig runs will mess with it. So I guess add pcmcia as a dependency in SuSEfirewall2_setup. Jeffrey Quoting Gnu iBook 2 :

Ok, now it is making sense. Should have RTF man page earlier. pcmcia requires network & syslog, network is S05, so that is not a problem, but syslog is S08, so insserv puts pcmcia at S09. Makes sense. Except that it also has SuSEfirewall2_setup at S08, so the firewall complains that the wlan (pcmcia) interface is not up. Hence my desire to change the order of these things.

the system default is:

S05network S06inet6 S07route S08SuSEfirewall2_setup S08syslog S09pcmcia

SuSEfirewall2_setup requires network syslog requires network pcmcia requires network syslog

Simplest thing is to remove the requirment for syslog from pcmcia, and renaming it S05pcmcia, no?

Is there any reason pcmcia needs syslog, while network doesn't? Can you see any problem with this order:

S05network S05pcmcia S06inet6 S07route S08SuSEfirewall2_setup S08syslog

So by removing syslog from the requirment, and renaming it to S05pcmcia, everything should be good. And on restart, looks like it worked.

Thanks Jeffrey

Also look at the header comment in /etc/rc.d/skeleton. The comments between "INIT INFO" is used to give the order dependencies and is used to set the order of initialization when booting, or changing run levels (e.g., halting, rebooting).

Sorry if I am too confused here. SuSE has changed the location of these files over the last few versions, no? So I have /etc/init.d/pcmcia

Now I need to modify this file, right? There is no mention of insserv anywhere in the file. can you clarify exactly what I should be typing into this file?

Okay, /etc/rc.d/pcmcia

I don't have a /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory.

Add a header for insserv to /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia or correct the one that's there.
