AIUI (and i could be totally off-base here), i thought systemd needed update-rc.d only for backward compatibility for sysvinit-style services, is that right? so while run-postinsts is free to inherit update-rc.d, does that have any value if one is not using any sysvinit-driven services? or am i misunderstanding the fundamental functionality of update-rc.d? rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
