hi the attached patch will enable the init script to work on debian :) but... you'll need to change the Makefile to install it to /etc/init.d/ as debian uses this, and IIRC, this is the unix standard. Also IIRC all distros have a symlink for this for trad unix compatibility. that is - not /etc/rc.d/ init.d, but just /etc/init.d regards roy |

Hi Roy, Thank you very much. But I think you forgot to attach the patch! Also, since we recently added an init script to smartd.init.in (in CVS, but not in the 5.26 release) could you please provide patches against the current CVS image, NOT against the month-old 5.26 release. As far as patching the Makefile, is there a reason that you don't use the --with-initscriptdir=/etc/init.d argument to the configure script? This is documented in the INSTALL file.

I couldn't find that CVS version, but I attached the patch anyway. The patch is really trivial anyway so it shouldn't be a problem. > As far as patching the Makefile, is there a reason that you don't use the > --with-initscriptdir=/etc/init.d argument to the configure script? This is > documented in the INSTALL file. That's just fine, but why can't you use a standard? (/etc/init.d/ _is_ a standard. redhat's /etc/rc.d/init.d/ is _not_). merry christmas :) roy |

See http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net/ for instructions on downloading to CVS. Or see: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/smartmontools/sm5/ for the latest file versions. Cheers, Bruce |

> It's identical to what's already been in CVS for a week or so. ok. still - if you change the default init script location to /etc/init.d/, it'll be a far better solution. For instance, from my rh73 installation: $ ls -l /etc/init.d lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 11 Jun 9 2002 /etc/init.d -> rc.d/ init.d/ $ the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ is the non-portable choice, so please change it to the old standard roy |
