[Mageia-dev] LSB init scripts question.

Wed Apr 18 06:01:06 CEST 2012

+On my Mageia 1 system, I noticed that xinetd wasn't getting
+started.  After comparing the lsb headers, I modified the
+script as per the following patch, and confirmed that on
+reboot, it's now getting started.
+
+$ cat xinetd.patch

+I was going to file a bug report, but decided to check other
+files.  I found that udev-post and crond also are missing the
+spaces.
+
+udev-post does not get run at boot, as confirmed by
+/var/lock/subsys/udev-post not existing, however crond is
+getting started.
+
+This doesn't make sense to me.  If the spaces are required,
+how is crond still getting started, while xinetd and udev-post
+are not?
