LeePenfsmithred: Thanks for pointing out!07:55
ShorTieif i symlink my /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit to /etc/default/rcS, it should do my startup right ??15:26
masonShorTie: Is that an OpenRC thing?15:28
ShorTiei don't think so, as when doing a lfs build, sysvinit is used15:29
masonI don't have /etc/rc.d here at all, on Devuan. I have it on FreeBSD, where it's the equivalent of Devuan's /etc/init.d. Just curious where it comes from.15:34
masonShorTie: I'm not sure what your goal is, but maybe look at inittab instead.15:35
ShorTiemy /etc/rc.d directory comes SmoothWall, writen in 2005, with all files as like rc.halt15:40
ShorTiepurely a custom directory15:40
masonThat sounds like you want completely custom scaffolding for startup. I wouldn't think linking to /etc/default/rcS would be what you want. It's sourced by /etc/init.d/rc. If you're doing your own thing, you want to drive it from inittab, or *maybe* as a service from within sysvinit.15:46
ShorTieOk, Thankz16:12
ShorTiefile /etc/init.d/rc looks more like what i got.16:13
ShorTiesee if i can symlink to that .. :/~16:13
masonShorTie: Just launch your stuff from inittab.16:13
masonShorTie: Then you can leave the existing sysvinit intact/ignored and switch back and forth easily.16:14
ShorTiegot like a example maybe, not sure what you mean, Sorry.16:15
masonShorTie: Look at how inittab invokes /etc/init.d/rcS, and if you want to shim in some other system, do it similarly.17:23
mason(Sorry, was on meetings.)17:23
golinuxIsn't this a development channel not an individual help channel?18:08
masonMaybe this'll be something new contributed eventually. :)18:31
masonIt'd be interesting to have Devuan as a canned base for https://smoothwall.org/18:34
golinuxmason: I must have missed that memo.  Their website makes me seasick with all the moving doodads.  May be shiny but does not inspire confidence in their product.19:15
masonI've heard about it before but I have no experience with it at all. Just thinking of Devuan being a trusted base for that kind of thing.19:33
