All,
I'm coming from a sun background so bare w/me...
I used to seeing /etc/rc.d/rc0.d.. threw rc6.d.....
with Snnhttpd (S04httpd) under rcn.d (rc3.d)....
and this linux version has a rc.conf with all the deamons..
Is there a doc that shows howto convert this or is this how arch does
inits...
TIA,
Joe

I came from Slack so I was use to that too. But, as far as I know, this is just the way Arch does it. I got use to it because I like Arch so much. Not sure if it can be converted or not. Anobody know for sure?

Ofcourse it can be converted. Take a look at the /etc directory, for example rc.sysinit. You'll just have to do alot of coding :-P.

the way it pretty much works is that, you put your daemons in your /etc/rc.conf DAEMONS line.
The actual daemon scripts are located in /etc/rc.d
On boot, in runlevels three and five, it starts all the daemons in your daemons line.
On run level five it also starts X, as directed in the /etc/inittab
On shutdown and reboot, it just stops the daemons it started at boot.
There you go!

you can do some google searches for the differences between sysV init and BSD init - sun/slackware/et al use sysV - arch/gentoo/et al use BSD...

BSD uses BSD too I think.

I'm sure Slackware uses BSD, but it supports SysV scripts and links as well. I believe Gentoo uses something based on SysV, they did when I used Gentoo (pre 1.0) .

that's not true - sysV style init is the one which organizes things based on numbered symlinks - S00 R00 S99 etc
BSD style init uses direct names and different ways of determining when to run each name: i.e. httpd, dnsmasq, etc
