IMHO the majority of installations use some sort of CRM (Cluster Resource Manager) instead of the init script. Also I do not know any other interactive init script. The interactivity is really bad, causing more trouble than benefit. Imagine an installation with removed init script, where it is reactivated by an upgrade. Thus I suggest: - distributions should not activate the init script per default - it should not be interactive by default Helmut Wollmersdorfer
