Package information
Download:
The blfs-bootscripts package will be used throughout the BLFS
book for startup scripts. Unlike LFS, each init script
has a seperate install target in the blfs-bootscrits package.
It is recomended you keep the package
source directory around until completion of your
BLFS system. When a script is requested from
blfs-bootscritps, simply change to the directory and execute the given
make install-<init-script> command. This command installs the
init script to its proper location (along with any auxillary configuration
scripts) and also creates the appropriate symlinks to start and stop the
service at the appropriate run-level.
It is advisable to peruse each bootscript before installation to
ascertain that it satisfies your need. Also verify that the start and stop
symlinks it creates match your preferences.
