(You may use debian/init for the first binary package +listed in the control file.) +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +.B debhelper options +See +.BR debhelper (1) +for a list of options common to all debhelper commands. +.TP +.B \-n, \--noscripts +Do not modify postinst/postrm/prerm scripts. +.TP +.B \-r, \--no-restart-on-upgrade +Do not restart daemon on upgrade. +.TP +.B \-d, \--remove-d +Remove trailing "d" from the name of the package, and use the result for the +filename the init script is installed as in etc/init.d/ . This may be useful +for daemons with names ending in "d". (Note: this takes precedence over +the --init-script parameter described below.) +.TP +.B \-uparams, \--update-rcd-params=params +Pass "params" to +.BR update-rc.d (8) +If not specified, "defaults" will be passed to +.BR update-rc.d (8) +.TP +.B \--init-script=scriptname +Use "scriptname" as for the filename the init script is installed as in +etc/init.d/ . This is useful if you need to have an init script with a name +different from the package's name. Note that if you use this parameter, +dh_installinit will look to see if a file in the debian/ directory exists +that looks like "scriptname" or "package.scriptname" and if so will install +it as the inist script in preference to the files it normally installs. This +feature is really only useful if you need a single package to install more +than one init script. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +See +.BR debhelper (1) +for a list of environment variables that affect all debhelper commands. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR debhelper (1), +.BR update_rc.d (8) +.SH AUTHOR +Joey Hess <joeyh@master.debian.org> |
