Jan 30 13:19:27 <JohnMMircatwork> techfury90, because /etc/init.d would be way too easy :P
Jan 30 13:19:34 <techfury90> solaris doesn't use that either
Jan 30 13:20:16 <JohnMMircatwork> lol it should ...that's a really nice feature of linux
Jan 30 13:20:19 <techfury90> actually
Jan 30 13:20:21 <techfury90> it replaced that
Jan 30 13:20:23 <techfury90> with smf
Jan 30 13:20:45 <techfury90> (which is way better)
Jan 30 13:22:07 <JohnMMircatwork> what's better about it?
Jan 30 13:22:25 <techfury90> its not a bunch of scripts
Jan 30 13:22:41 <techfury90> its a program that handles xml config files describing each service, its dependencies, how to start/stop it, etc
Jan 30 13:22:50 <BoIIe> tcp + udp for ssh?
Jan 30 13:22:55 <techfury90> BoIIe, tcp is enough
Jan 30 13:23:01 <BoIIe> k
Jan 30 13:23:05 <BoIIe> thx
Jan 30 13:23:06 <techfury90> it also has facilities for logging problems with services, etc
Jan 30 13:25:27 <wthww> techfury90: Actually, scripts could be alot better than a finite program, much more expandable anyways...
Jan 30 13:25:37 <wthww> it it doesnt have to be in XML.
Jan 30 13:25:37 <techfury90> wthww, its much more of a mess though
Jan 30 13:25:50 <techfury90> its basically sun's equivalent of launchd
Jan 30 13:25:53 <wthww> techfury90: how? its very nicely organized.
Jan 30 13:26:16 <techfury90> wthww, it doesn't have facilities for easily handling dependencies, service faults, grouping services into "milestones" (the replacement for runlevels), etc
Jan 30 13:26:19 <techfury90> read up on smf before you slam it
Jan 30 13:26:36 <techfury90> there's a reason sun replaced /etc/init.d with it
Jan 30 13:27:17 <techfury90> plus, most non-linux operating systems replaced init.d with similar things
Jan 30 13:27:35 <BoIIe> lulz
Jan 30 13:27:38 <BoIIe> works quite well
Jan 30 13:27:48 <BoIIe> im typing this from my powerbook
Jan 30 13:27:50 <techfury90> nice
Jan 30 13:27:54 <BoIIe> ssh´ed into leMacPro
Jan 30 13:28:03 <wthww> techfury90: Just another way to be proprietery.
Jan 30 13:28:03 <BoIIe> and screenshared
Jan 30 13:28:04 <BoIIe> lulz
Jan 30 13:28:15 <BoIIe> nicorz
Jan 30 13:28:18 <techfury90> wthww, uh no.
Jan 30 13:28:20 <techfury90> its open source
Jan 30 13:28:22 <techfury90> quit being a troll.
Jan 30 13:28:24 <BoIIe> now to change the default ssh port
Jan 30 13:28:27 <techfury90> especially with that nick of yours
Jan 30 13:28:35 <wthww> techfury90: I'm not...
Jan 30 13:28:50 <techfury90> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Service_Management_Facility
Jan 30 13:28:54 <techfury90> and your nick IS a troll
Jan 30 13:29:03 <wthww> I'm disclosing my dislike of using a program to start the basic services of a system...
Jan 30 13:29:20 <techfury90> you haven't even read anything on it..
Jan 30 13:30:08 <BoIIe> lulz
Jan 30 13:30:36 <BoIIe> nice even works with my dyndns address :D
Jan 30 13:30:40 <wthww> techfury90: ... Only once you know what it means. and please don't attack me for my nick. Also, I like the init script way. and Yes, I have.
Jan 30 13:30:48 <wthww> bbl people.
Jan 30 13:30:50 <techfury90> wthww, its trolling.
Jan 30 13:30:57 <techfury90> you aren't allowed to troll here
Jan 30 13:30:58 <techfury90> (the nick)
Jan 30 13:31:08 <-- wthww (n=wthww@dialup-4.224.135.126.Dial1.Cincinnati1.Level3.net) has left #68kmla ("SUCK IT ASSHOLE.")
