webmin rpm and chkconfig...

[<jam...@te...>]

Hi Jamie,

I am trying to build a trimmed down RPM of webmin for our internal purposes
and came across
what I believe is a discrepency (or maybe its not).    In the webmin init
script you have the following
comments:

     # chkconfig: 235 99 00
     # description: Start or stop the Webmin server

Which of course are for the chkconfig program.  What I find strange is that
your RPM's specfile does
not use the chkconfig command to setup the sybolic links for the init
script but instead do these
as files that are part of the package.  Furthermore in the spec file  you
are setting the init scripts
links to have it run at different priority (or order) than you have in your
chkconfig entry in the
init script:

     /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S99webmin
     /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/S99webmin
     /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/S99webmin
     /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K10webmin
     /etc/rc.d/rc3.d/K10webmin
     /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/K10webmin

Furthermore, and I just noticed this, you have kill scripts in the same run
      level as your start scripts.

So my questions are:

      - Which priorities do you consider correct (I am assuming the links
      in the spec file, but
         I figure I would ask)?
      - Why don't you use chkconfig?  I will most definately alter the
      package for my
        purposes to use it, but I was wondering if you had a reason?
      - Did you really mean to have kill and start scripts in the same run
      level?  I thought the
         kill scripts belonged in the run levels where you don't want
      webmin to run, such
         as 0, 1, and 6.
