Well, I don't think we have a full definition in the LSB standard. In the IEEE Std 1003.1-2004 (Copyright © 2001-2004 The IEEE and The Open Group) there is a definition for - pathname ("[...]It has an optional beginning slash, followed by zero or more filenames separated by slashes.[...]") - absolute pathname (a pathname beginning with a slash) - basename ("The final, or only, filename in a pathname.") i.e. a basename, relative and absolute pathname should be supported according to the LSB standard with the definition from 1003.1-2001(2004). > Seems start_daemon on mandrake 9.1 wants just the name, not the path Accepting only the basename is clearly not according to the LSB standard. Conclusion: a) We need more definitions, maybe the Open Group/IEEE allows to use theirs? Or one should more clearly point out that the definitions of the 1003.1-2001 apply. b) I shall find the time to (finally!) create init-script tests ... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.linuxbase.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
