NAME¶
update-metainit - Generates init scripts
SYNOPSIS¶
update-metainit [
--remove initname [
--purge] ]
DESCRIPTION¶
Metainit solves the problem of writing good init scripts. Instead of
manually creating these important files, they are derived from a declaritive
description in the metainit files in
/etc/metainit. These files can be
shipped with packages or created by the local administrator.
If
update-metainit called without argument, it will regenerate init
scripts for all the files in
/etc/metainit. The generated files contain
a large warning in form of a comment that they will be overridden.
Modifications are preferably done in the files in
/etc/metainit and
made effective by running
update-metainit. If needed, the administrator
can prevent modified init files by removing the warning comment.
OPTIONS¶
- --remove initname
- This command will remove any generated and non-modified scripts that were
created by the metainit file with the name initname.
- --purge
- Only usable with --remove. Will remove the generated files even if
modified.
