Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun! |

If you're reading this in /etc/init.d/, Slackware's real init directory is /etc/rc.d/. Maybe you already knew this, but it never hurts to say. :-) This script was taken from Fedora (and is presumably licensed under the GPL). While I don't see Slackware init scripts making much use of it (but use it if you wish), some third party init scripts (such as for commercial software designed to run on Red Hat based systems) expect this script and use it in their own init scripts, so it's a good idea to make it available here. These functions are provided solely for commercial (or other) software that expects to find "Red Hat-isms". I wouldn't use them to write new init scripts (personally), but if you've had experience with them in the past and like them, by all means feel free. It's planned to continue support for them.
