How do I register a service?I have a couple of services I need to run from init.d for runlevel 2. # Provides: pyTivo at the top of the init script. The second service, however relies on # Required-Start: $syslog $network $pyTivo at the top of the second script, but now I'm not so sure. The # Provides: networking instead of # Provides: network which is what I would expect if the mechanism worked as I had surmised.

You mean what's the difference between "$network" and "networking" in
LSB parlance?

Nevermind. I found it. I should be using insserv
instead of update-rc.d

Ah, that. Yep, "man update-rc.d" should also point to "insserv".

OK, wait a minute. It should work, but it isn't.
Here is pyHME:
#! /bin/sh
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides: pyHME
# Required-Start: $remote_fs $syslog $network $pyTivo
# Required-Stop: $remote_fs $syslog $network $pyTivo
# Default-Start: 2 3 4 5
# Default-Stop: 0 1 6
# Short-Description: HME Services
# Description: Provides HME services for TiVo
#
### END INIT INFO
but when I run `insserv pyHME` I get:
RAID-Server:/etc/rc2.d# ls -1 *py*
S04pyHME
S04pyTivo
That will run pyHME before pyTivo. What am I doing wrong?
