Bug#271859: gnome-system-tools whole boot sequence without asking

[Thomas Hood]

severity 271859 serious
retitle 271859 service admin reorders whole boot sequence without asking
thanks

I looked into the issue I originally complained about in #271859 (viz.,
changing of modification times) and I discovered, to my horror, that
enabling one service had changed most (but not all) of the sequence
numbers in most (but not all) runlevel directories!

In this test I enabled service 'alsactl' while I was in runlevel 3.  An
S symlink for alsactl was indeed added to /etc/rc3.d/.  However, look at
what changed in runlevel 2:

Before:

./                S20alsa@            S20laptop-mode@  S20webmin@      S91vmware@
../               S20apmd@            S20makedev@      S20xprint@      S99fetchmail@
S10sysklogd@      S20binfmt-support@  S20netapplet@    S21nfs-common@  S99gdm@
S11klogd@         S20cupsys@          S20nscd@         S30squid@       S99linuxlogo@
S14ppp@           S20dbus-1@          S20pcmcia@       S50systune@     S99rmnologin@
S15dnsmasq@       S20fam@             S20postfix@      S89atd@         S99stop-bootlogd@
S18portmap@       S20gpm@             S20samba@        S89cron@        S99tpctl@
S19spamassassin@  S20ifplugd@         S20ssh@          S89fcron@
S20acpid@         S20inetd@           S20waproamd@     S91apache@

After:

./              S45acpid@           S45inetd@         S45webmin@   S91vmware@
../             S45alsa@            S45laptop-mode@   S45xprint@   S93fetchmail@
S10sysklogd@    S45apmd@            S45makedev@       S46samba@    S99gdm@
S11klogd@       S45binfmt-support@  S45nscd@          S47squid@    S99linuxlogo@
S14ppp@         S45cupsys@          S45pcmcia@        S50systune@  S99rmnologin@
S15dnsmasq@     S45dbus-1@          S45postfix@       S55apache@   S99stop-bootlogd@
S20netapplet@   S45fam@             S45spamassassin@  S55atd@      S99tpctl@
S21nfs-common@  S45gpm@             S45ssh@           S89cron@
S22portmap@     S45ifplugd@         S45waproamd@      S89fcron@


DO NOT CHANGE MY WHOLE BOOT SEQUENCE WITHOUT ASKING.
