• v /etc/init.d/ jsou ulozeny skripty, ktere spousti sluzby po startu pocitace
• v /etc/rcX.d/ jsou symbolicke odkazy na skripty, ktere se maji spustit/ukoncit v run level X
• v kazdem rcX.d by mel byt symlink bud na spusteni S nebo na ukonceni K
• pro zjednoduseni prace a udrzeni konzistence existuji ruzne nastroje

• prvnim nastrojem je update-rc.d

usage: update-rc.d [-n] [-f] <basename> remove
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> defaults [NN | SS KK]
       update-rc.d [-n] <basename> disable|enable [S|2|3|4|5]
                -n: not really
                -f: force

The disable|enable API is not stable and might change in the future.

• zakladni kostra init.d skriptu muze byt nasledujici (bez dalsich zavislosti)

do_stop() {
        echo "Killing service"
        ...
}

do_start() {
        echo "Starting service"
        ...
}
