Some (older) service startup script is starting with a: |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
#!/sbin/runscript |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
shebang, instead of the openrc equivalent: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
#!/sbin/openrc-run |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
If you look in your /etc/init.d/ scripts you will see that there quite a few |
| 32 |
that still start with the runscript shebang. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
Eventually ebuilds will update their startup scripts to use the openrc syntax, |
| 35 |
unless systemd takes over the world and openrc is abandoned. |

No, because after it eats your kittens it will drink your beer. We can't have |
| 48 |
that! |
