Hello List,

for me its impossible to have a single init script
which works on FC/RedHat,SuSE and Debian.

Is there anywhere an example of an LSB conform init script
which actually _works_ ?

The attached script

(which is hopefully lsb conform)
does not work on every distribution.

Maybe I have a bug in it.


SUSE 10.1/SLES Enterprise:
start:ok
status:ok
stop:ok

DEBIAN:lsb-base 3.2-13
start: ok
status: ok, but the output is not helpful (* always)
stop: reports no error but does not shutdown

FC9:
start:ok
status:ok
stop:ok

This attached script only uses basic LSB calls, but
it does not work.

Has anyone a script which works on all distributions?


regards,

Martin
