From: Hugo Vanwoerkom on 2 Jun 2010 12:30 Hi, Before dependency based boot I added my own boot scripts with update-rc.d, like: update-rc.d faketty start 29 2 3 4 5 . and the update-rc.d man page still refers to sequence numbers (NN=29): "NN is the two-digit sequence number that determines where in the sequence init will run the scripts." But with dependency based boot those sequence numbers went out the window. What does one do now, run update-rc.d as before and then 'dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'?

I would try one of the alternatives. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Yes, they are meaningless now. If it is important that the script runs before or after some other script, you need to specify this in the LSB headers. > What does one do now, run update-rc.d as before and then > dpkg-reconfigure sysv-rc'? Just run update-rc.d, it will run insserv for you (assuming that you have already converted to dependency-based boot).
