The Debian Policy Manual is +available at: + + http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#contents + +The Debian Policy Manual is also available in the Debian package +"debian-policy". When this package is installed, the policy manual can be +found in directory /usr/share/doc/debian-policy. If you have a browser +installed you can probably read it at + + file://localhost/usr/share/doc/debian-policy/ + +Some more detailed information can also be found in the files in the +/usr/share/doc/sysv-rc directory. + +Debian Policy dictates that /etc/init.d/*.sh scripts must work properly +when sourced. The following additional rules apply: + +* /etc/init.d/*.sh scripts must not rely for their correct functioning + on their being sourced rather than executed. That is, they must work + properly when executed too. They must include "#!/bin/sh" at the top. + This is useful when running scripts in parallel. + +* /etc/init.d/*.sh scripts must conform to the rules for sh scripts as + spelled out in the Debian policy section entitled "Scripts" (ยง10.4). + +Use the update-rc.d command to create symbolic links in the /etc/rc?.d +as appropriate. See that man page for more details. + +All init.d scripts are expected to have a LSB style header documenting +dependencies and default runlevel settings. The header look like this +(not all fields are required): + +### BEGIN INIT INFO +# Provides: skeleton +# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog +# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog +# Should-Start: $portmap +# Should-Stop: $portmap +# X-Start-Before: nis +# X-Stop-After: nis +# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5 +# Default-Stop: 0 1 6 +# X-Interactive: true +# Short-Description: Example initscript +# Description: This file should be used to construct scripts to be +# placed in /etc/init.d. +### END INIT INFO + +More information on the format is available from insserv(8). This +information is used to dynamicaly assign sequence numbers to the +boot scripts and to run the scripts in parallel during the boot. +See also /usr/share/doc/insserv/README.Debian. |
