Backgrounding Daemons

Arm-the-Homeless · 2009-05-07 23:48:00

I just want to make sure I don't break anything.

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network pacmandb hal dbus crond @stbd @netfs @gdm @wicd @oss !soundcore !alsa)

That's my rc.conf daemons list so far. Is there anything else I could background or move around?

I have everything except syslog-ng and iptables backgrounded, which includes network, hal and crond. You can probably background pacmandb too and you should remove dbus from the array according to the wiki page:

D-Bus is automatically started by HAL, you don't need to (and you shouldn't) add it to your DAEMONS array in /etc/rc.conf.

Thanks.

And what's with the tons of updates to perl-xyne-arch?

That package contains the backends of powerpill, reflector, rebase and pkgd spread across 7 (perl) modules so it gets updated whenever one of those needs an update. The last few were due to a bug that took a while to track down in powerpill.

It's only 44K so I hope nobody really minds the updates. I should start adding funny messages to the post-upgrade script.
