Description of Problem: Notice the nasty-looking error message given by chkconfig: [root@mule root]# chkconfig --del sendmail [root@mule root]# chkconfig --list sendmail service sendmail supports chkconfig, but is not registered (run 'chkconfig --add sendmail') This is a change in behavior. Could we tweak the error message slightly to say somethine like: service xyz supports chkconfig, but is not {specified,referenced} in any runlevel (run 'chkconfig --add sendmail') This would be, to my way of thinking, more intuitive than "not registered". Bye the way, I like the new messages chkconfig prints in general: [root@mule root]# touch /etc/init.d/eer [root@mule root]# chkconfig --list eer service eer does not support chkconfig [root@mule root]# # Nicely done! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Beta 4 stock: [root@mule root]# rpm -qf `which chkconfig` chkconfig-1.3.4-1 Thank you.
A change at this point would break the translations.
The translations, unless there is a *direct* word in the non-english language that means "not registered", can at best only get at the idea. The idea really hasn't changed, its just that the english representation of that idea might be more accurate.
Perhaps in the new Beta cycle, we could make the change before translation again becomes an issue.
fixed in CVS, will be in 1.3.6-1.
