Created attachment 1445 [details] [review] patch to /etc/init.d/xprint to check whether or not to start The patch checks the value of START_XPRINT in /etc/default/xprint (if present), during /etc/init.d/xprint start or restart. Other /etc/init.d/xprint functions are not affected. I would like to retract my recommendation of applying this patch, following the conversation at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=291766. The requested behaviour can be more easily obtained by using the system's tools for manipulating the run scripts. Setting them up to remove the symlinks from /etc/init.d/xprint to /etc/rc* means that /etc/init.d/xprint will not get invoked at boot, but will still be available for manual invocation. This makes /etc/default/xprint, at least for the purposes of start up, redundant. I will remove the patch from Debian once I am confident the symlinks can be removed using the system tools without getting themselves replaced again at upgrade. Drew Closing WONTFIX because nobody cares about Xprint. Reopen if you plan to address this bug. |
