It sounds like the default init script isn't great for you. |

Rather than write a generator for a static configuration file that is |
| 13 |
consumed by a script, would it make more sense to modify the /etc/init.d |
| 14 |
script to compute whatever you need on the fly? I would think that would |
| 15 |
make deployment more flexible and (depending on what you're trying to do) |
| 16 |
perhaps eliminate the need for a manual configuration step. |

I did that once for a Gentoo VM that needed to figure out a working network |
| 19 |
configuration under a variety of hypervisors (the thing being distributed |
| 20 |
to customers was the VM, and final setup was web-based, so it had to work |
| 21 |
no matter what). |
