file-rc: A config file for runlevels

#1 Post by pcalvert »

Here's something interesting that I just learned about and thought I'd pass along. A quick Google search gave me the impression that very few people know about this (or if they do, they aren't talking about it).
The traditional "SysV" scheme of implementing runlevels is through links in "/etc/rc?.d/*". The main problem with these links is that you can't easily get a survey of your setup. I rewrote the "rc"-program so it handles one config file instead of many links in "/etc/rc?.d/*".
Grml uses file-rc, which is how I learned about it.

What are these strange "runlevels" of which you speak?

Are they like systemd .targets?

:mrgreen:

Interesting links, thanks!
