NAME
update-metainit - Generates init scripts
SYNOPSIS
update-metainit [--remove initname [--purge] ]
DESCRIPTION
Metainit solves the problem of writing good init scripts. Instead of
manually creating these important files, they are derived from a
declaritive description in the metainit files in /etc/metainit. These
files can be shipped with packages or created by the local
administrator.
If update-metainit called without argument, it will regenerate init
scripts for all the files in /etc/metainit. The generated files contain
a large warning in form of a comment that they will be overridden.
Modifications are preferably done in the files in /etc/metainit and
made effective by running update-metainit. If needed, the administrator
can prevent modified init files by removing the warning comment.
OPTIONS
--remove initname
This command will remove any generated and non-modified scripts
that were created by the metainit file with the name initname.
--purge
Only usable with --remove. Will remove the generated files even if
modified.
