It has to work when passed "start" as an argument, yes, but that doesn't mean that it can't completely ignore any args that it's given. For a real service (i.e., something that runs a daemon), it should reconize and respond appropriately to "start", "stop", and "restart", but other cases (such as the current discussion on the debian-user list about turning on numlock during the boot process) it may not hurt anything to always do the same thing regardless of what command gets passed on the command line. -- When we reduce our own liberties to stop terrorism, the terrorists have already won. - reverius Innocence is no protection when governments go bad. - Tom Swiss
