# zg-policy-rc.d(8)

allows flexible handling of policy-rc.d

## NAME

zg-policy-rc.d - allows flexible handling of policy-rc.d

## DOCUMENTATION

zg-policy-rc.d is a script which provides flexible handling of the policy-rc.d script. As invoke-rc.d only looks for policy-rc.d in /usr/sbin, putting local binaries there would be a policy violation.

Hence, this script.

If the environment variable POLICYRCD is set, the script the variable pointed to is used. If POLICYRCD is not set, /etc/zg-policy-rc.d.conf is sourced. /etc/zg-policy-rc.d.conf can set the POLICYRCD variable.

If invocation of /etc/zg-policy-rc.d.conf does not give a POLICYRCD value set, the script checks for executeable files in /usr/local/sbin/policy-rc.d and /etc/policy-rc.d and uses the first one it finds.

## BUGS

Many. Be prepared to debug.
