My service would start and stop manually, but would not start during boot process. I lost hours of my day figuring out why. rcorder(8) states: "A file may contain zero `PROVIDE' lines, in which case = it provides no conditions." rc(8) states: "Each script should contain rcorder(8) keywords, especially an appropriate "PROVIDE" entry, and if necessary "REQUIRE" and "BEFORE" keywor= ds.=E2=80=9D To my mind, rcorder(8)'s wording implies PROVIDE is optional, while rc(8)'s wording only suggests the importance of PROVIDE but does not discuss the ramifications of leaving it off as rcorder(8) clearly states may be done. The solution here is to unambiguously state in rcorder(8) that the rc system (boot time) will steadfastly refuse to start a service that has no PROVIDE entry, even while a manual start will work. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
