Jan 30 13:19:27 techfury90, because /etc/init.d would be way too easy :P Jan 30 13:19:34 solaris doesn't use that either Jan 30 13:20:16 lol it should ...that's a really nice feature of linux Jan 30 13:20:19 actually Jan 30 13:20:21 it replaced that Jan 30 13:20:23 with smf Jan 30 13:20:45 (which is way better) Jan 30 13:22:07 what's better about it? Jan 30 13:22:25 its not a bunch of scripts Jan 30 13:22:41 its a program that handles xml config files describing each service, its dependencies, how to start/stop it, etc Jan 30 13:22:50 tcp + udp for ssh? Jan 30 13:22:55 BoIIe, tcp is enough Jan 30 13:23:01 k Jan 30 13:23:05 thx Jan 30 13:23:06 it also has facilities for logging problems with services, etc Jan 30 13:25:27 techfury90: Actually, scripts could be alot better than a finite program, much more expandable anyways... Jan 30 13:25:37 it it doesnt have to be in XML. Jan 30 13:25:37 wthww, its much more of a mess though Jan 30 13:25:50 its basically sun's equivalent of launchd Jan 30 13:25:53 techfury90: how? its very nicely organized. Jan 30 13:26:16 wthww, it doesn't have facilities for easily handling dependencies, service faults, grouping services into "milestones" (the replacement for runlevels), etc Jan 30 13:26:19 read up on smf before you slam it Jan 30 13:26:36 there's a reason sun replaced /etc/init.d with it Jan 30 13:27:17 plus, most non-linux operating systems replaced init.d with similar things Jan 30 13:27:35 lulz Jan 30 13:27:38 works quite well Jan 30 13:27:48 im typing this from my powerbook Jan 30 13:27:50 nice Jan 30 13:27:54 ssh´ed into leMacPro Jan 30 13:28:03 techfury90: Just another way to be proprietery.
