dh_installinit

NAME

dh_installinit - install init scripts into package build directories

SYNOPSIS

dh_installinit [debhelper options] [--name=name] [-n] [-r] [-d] [-- params]

DESCRIPTION

dh_installinit is a debhelper program that is responsible for installing init scripts and associated defaults files into package build directories.

It also automatically generates the postinst and postrm and prerm commands needed to set up the symlinks in /etc/rc*.d/ and to start and stop the init scripts.

If a file named debian/package.init exists, then it is installed into etc/init.d/package in the package build directory, with ``package'' replaced by the package name.

If a file named debian/package.default exists, then it is installed into etc/default/package in the package build directory, with ``package'' replaced by the package name.

OPTIONS

-n, --noscripts

Do not modify postinst/postrm/prerm scripts.

-r, --no-restart-on-upgrade

Do not restart init script on upgrade.

--no-start

Do not start the init script on install or upgrade, or stop it on removal. Only call update-rc.d. Useful for rcS scripts.

-d, --remove-d

Remove trailing ``d'' from the name of the package, and use the result for the filename the init script is installed as in etc/init.d/ , and the default file is installed as in etc/default/ . This may be useful for daemons with names ending in ``d''. (Note: this takes precedence over the --init-script parameter described below.)

-uparams --update-rcd-params=params

-- params

Pass ``params'' to update-rc.d(8). If not specified, ``defaults'' will be passed to update-rc.d(8).

--name=name

Install the init script (and default file) using the filename name instead of the default filename, which is the package name. When this parameter is used, dh_installinit looks for and installs files named debian/package.name.init and debian/package.name.default, instead of the usual debian/package.init and debian/package.default.

--init-script=scriptname

Use ``scriptname'' as the filename the init script is installed as in etc/init.d/ (and also use it as the filename for the defaults file, if it is installed). If you use this parameter, dh_installinit will look to see if a file in the debian/ directory exists that looks like ``package.scriptname'' and if so will install it as the init script in preference to the files it normally installs.

This parameter is deprecated, use the --name parameter instead.

--error-handler=function

Call the named shell function if running the init script fails. The function should be provided in the prerm and postinst scripts, before the #DEBHELPER# token.

NOTES

Note that this command is not idempotent. ``dh_clean -k'' should be called between invocations of this command. Otherwise, it may cause multiple instances of the same text to be added to maintainer scripts.
