Re: [gentoo-dev] Init replacement

[Wouter van Kleunen]

local res="$(cat /proc/modules | egrep 'serial' | cut -f1 -d" ")"

remaining="$(cat /proc/mounts | awk `( print $3 " " $2 )'| \
     grep -E ^'code|nfs|ncpfs|smbfs' | awk '( print $2 | '| sort -r)"

human readable, i see... hmmmm

how can you test something like this ? it will break very easily.

and writing a init script for a daemon is very simple with my system. Not
all daemons have an ready to run gentoo init script you know.
