There is no obivous way on Debian systems to detect if a init script is started on boot
Added by Matthieu CERDA almost 13 years ago. Updated over 7 years ago.
Description
There is no evident way on Debian systems to detect if a init script is started on boot !
On SuSE / RedHat systems we have /sbin/chkconfig --check but on debian we are forced to detect if an init link is present on /etc/rc2.d. This produces unpleasant warning messages.

I just found this: http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=chkconfig. chkconfig is available for Debian and has been for a long time!
I suggest we add it as a dependency for rudder-agent, and also add in the "Common" PT a packages promise to install it in case it gets removed.
Do you think this will fix this?

I managed to do it the old way, like we used to do in the SSH PT, but this is a sexy alternative and it actually works indeed. Are you really sure you want to add this as a dependency ?

What is this "old way" which is so sexy ? Can you explain a little more, please ?

This is not a blocking issue so I moved it to the next run.
Besides, I'm waiting for your answer, Matthieu.

Zombie bug lives again !!!
The old way is not sexy: it means detecting the symlinks in /etc/rcX.d but produces a lot of warning messages.
The new one, which is sexy, means adding chkconfig as a dependency on Debian, which would enable us to use the same syntax on all supported OSes !
This way, we would just use chkconfig everywhere.
