Do you like "::" in initscript?

user · 2006-07-19 23:35:59

Hi,

I think s/::// is better

 > sudo vi +29 /etc/rc.d/functions

codemac · 2006-07-20 01:58:56

I think it looks fine, and you can always just sed it yout if you don't like it, because it looks like you are the minority.

jaboua · 2006-07-20 02:15:37

Yes - actually so much that I've started doing the same in my own scripts...

Same, that's why the mkinitcpio image uses it.

I'm a little slow...I don't really understand what y'all are talking about. Can anyone dumb it down for me?

Sure. When you boot, there are informational/progress messages displayed: mounting fs, loading modules, starting daemons, etc. In front of each line there is a double colon '::'. It's just an estetic issue.

I think the "::" whachamacallit looks pretty nice at boot. Im all for it.

palandir · 2006-07-20 18:48:38

I don't like the default Arch boot message "style" at all, so I changed everything a bit.
But, it's still better than no color at all as in many distributions.

elasticdog · 2006-07-20 21:31:10

LOL...I was all expecting it to be ultra-technical. I like them too, but don't really think about it much either way.

tomfitzyuk · 2006-07-20 21:49:39

Yeah, I thought it'd be technical too Something about C++... nevermind.

Anyway, I like the ::, I also use that as a deliminator for horizontal navigation bars on websites.

deficite · 2006-07-21 02:48:30

I think it looks pretty sexy how it is. Arch is definitely my favorite startup system both configuration- and esthetic-wise.

afu · 2006-07-21 03:15:46

I guess I need to reboot more often.

I suggest you sneek something in like next time.

:: is fine.

myst · 2006-07-21 13:16:01

I don't like '::'. Don't see any need in it. As for me '' is better.

jaboua · 2006-07-21 15:02:23

Well, seems like almost 90% (more accurate just over 88 %) of the forum users like it...

Or 38% users hate it, atm.

As of this moment, treating "Don't Care" as an abstain:
yes: 41
no: 8
Yes / Total Votes = 0.83673

So, 83.673% of forum users that have taken the time to vote and have an opinion on the matter like it.

Me, I couldn't care either way.

-edit-

Holy crap - our forums have 126% participation in this poll!

user · 2006-07-21 15:35:41

IMHO, don't-care-ppl actually did voted, so they care little or nervous it. or too sick to answer about meaningless(to us: users) kernel printk ..

Cerebral · 2006-07-21 17:18:16

Or... maybe they just don't care. Like they said they don't. Like I don't.
