Subject kind of says it all... |

I was reading manpages and I don't think there's a way, so I thought I'd |
| 4 |
ask. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I've been merging/unmerging packages for testing and some have to be |
| 7 |
started via a daemon, so I've had to add them to /etc/runlevels/* via |
| 8 |
rc-update. |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
The problem is I was removing packages without doing `rc-update del |
| 11 |
<service> <runlevel>`, leaving them added in the runlevel with no valid |
| 12 |
script/symlink. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Now, I could just do `ls -al /etc/runlevels/*` and search manually for |
| 15 |
broken symlinks and then manually remove them. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It seems that `rc-update -a` parses /etc/init.d/* and looks for matching |
| 18 |
symlinks in /etc/runlevels, but not the other way around. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
It looks like rc-update has a "-a" parameter that deals with broken |
| 21 |
symlinks but it still requires a service name which is not listed any |
| 22 |
more in /etc/init.d. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
I did test this, `rc-update -v show` did not show NetworkManager (which |
| 25 |
I'd removed. Manual inspection of /etc/runlevels showed a broken link. I |
| 26 |
then ran `rc-update del NetworkManager default`, which worked even |
| 27 |
though it isn't listed in the rc-update output. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Or am I overthinking things? Or maybe I'm just getting too tired to |
| 30 |
think about this. :o) |
