Hi,

i have a short question, for my understanding of the init scripts. I understand that there are dependencies between them, in order to have parallel launch not messing up. Makes all sense to me.

The only thing I do not completely understand is the difference between

Required-Start: $network and Required-Start: dbus

(the difference that one requires the network and the other one the service dbus is obvious to me. Please don't explain the literal difference of the two lines.

My question is more regarding the "$" sign in from of network.

Thank you very much Takashi. I tend to forget how well most things are documented in our world ;)

I'm trying to merge the information from http://en.opensuse.org/SUSE_Package_Conventions/Init_Scripts into http://en.opensuse.org/Packaging/SysV_Init_Script Both these pages might be a good source of information for you.
