Package: insserv (1.12.0-14)

Tool to organize boot sequence using LSB init.d script dependencies

The insserv program is used to update the order of symlinks in /etc/rc?.d/ with sysv-rc based on dependencies specified in the scripts themselves using LSB init.d script headers.

This allow each package maintainer to specify their init.d script relation to other scripts and make it possible to detect and reject script dependency loops as well as making sure all scripts start in their intended order.

The program insserv in this package should be used with care and together with the sysv-rc package, as using it incorrectly can lead to an unbootable system.
