[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] [PATCH 4/4] update-rc.d: add disable|reenable runlevel link interface

DISABLING OR REENABLING INIT SCRIPT LINKS

When run with the disable [ S|2|3|4|5 ] options, update-rc.d modifies
existing runlevel links for the script /etc/init.d/name by
renaming start links to stop links with a sequence number equal to the
difference of 100 minus the orignal sequence number.

When run with the reenable [ S|2|3|4|5 ] options, update-rc.d modifies existing
runlevel links for the script /etc/init.d/name by renaming stop links to start
links with a sequence number equal to the positive difference of current
sequence number minus 100, thus returning to the original sequence number that
the script had been installed with before disabling it.

Both of these options only operate on start runlevel links of S, 2, 3, 4 or 5.
If no start runlevel is specified after the disable or enable keywords, the
script will attempt to modify links in all start runlevels.
