Description Jablonovsky Alexander 2005-08-24 12:23:10 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; ru-RU; rv:1.7.6) Gecko/20050319

Description of problem:
Is's not a bug, but request for enhancement. rc.sysinit is too complex now,
depends of many various software details and subject to patch with any reffered program/package update. This is bad! Why don't split it into pieces like other
part of initscripts? The system halt is runlevel 0, reboot - 6. Why don't make
another special runlevel for the system start? Let's make init going into runlevel
7 first at power up, then to "normal" runlevel like 5. Initscripts tasks become services running on runlevel 7 and may be moved from initscripts to its
"native" packages.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
initscripts-7.14-1

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.less /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit :)
2.
3.

Nice idea, but not going to happen in RHL9.  Try asking in the Fedora Core
development tree.

(In reply to comment #1)
Sorry, but I can't find another way to contact the initscripts developers. RHL9
is here only because the Bugzilla framework requires version info and RHL9 is
what I'm running now.
