When you say "recent openSUSE" versions are you speaking of those which use a combination of systemd and init scripts? I don't know why you call the scripts in /etc/init.d makefiles....
I'm referring to systemV exclusively, in distros like 11.0, 11.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4. And I talk of makefiles, not init scripts. Look for yourself:
cer@Telcontar:~> ls /etc/init.d/.[tab][tab] ./ ../ .depend.boot .depend.halt .depend.start .depend.stop
Those files follow a makefile syntax. See startpar(8): "The -M option switches startpar into a make(1) like behaviour."
Yes, it did with systemV systems.... I'd been doing it for *years*.
Then review the posts of people here complaining that it did not work for them, that the order they wrote was not respected.
Of course, if you disable the parallel feature, then the symlinks are followed classic style. But is not the default.
Yep, unfortunately the default is RUN_PARALLEL="yes" which always caused me non-deterministig failures until I noticed how to get rid of that useless startpar. cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
