Is there any log of services started on boot from the rc?.d/init.d
directories.

For reason I can't fathom (yet), my DSL connection doesn't come up on boot,
but running the init.d later does work. It's currently set up as S95adsl in
rc2.d.

I knwow I could do something by modifying the script in question, but I
thought I'd check and see if there was any standard source of information for
this .

I'm afraid not.

While we're on the subject, any reason debian doesn't use a standardized set
of script support functions (conceptually) like RedHat does?

The next sysvinit upload will have 'bootlogd', which will save
everything printed to the console (except for kernel/dmesg messages)
in /var/log/boot. That should help.

Then, since kernel messages essentially give way to init scripts
after the kernel finishes loading, that means that between dmesg and
bootlogd there should be a mostly complete record of everything
happening when a Debian machine boots, right?

Thanks very much for everything. It sounds way cool. <grin>

Yes, that is the basic idea.
