Just for the archives, Debian already solved this problem by creating a wrapper that calls init scripts. It's called invoke-rc.d, and it's logic is roughly the following: If you have a K link in the runlevel you're currently in, it will not run. If you have an S link in either the runlevel you're currently in or in rcS.d (but no K in either) the script will run. So my problem was solved by shipping only one S link in rcS.d, and a K link in all other runlevels. Now the admin can run the script by hand, but it will not be run on upgrade. Phew. Thanks for everybody's help. -- -------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Stephen Gran | If you go on with this nuclear arms | | steve@lobefin.net | race, all you are going to do is make | | http://www.lobefin.net/~steve | the rubble bounce. -- Winston | | | Churchill | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Attachment:
