README for Debian package of procps
|
|
===================================
|
|
|
|
ipv6 sysctl keys
|
|
----------------
|
|
Modern Debian kernel packages have the IPv6 module compiled in by default.
|
|
This means that the /proc/sys/net/ipv6 directory exists when the procps
|
|
startup script runs.
|
|
|
|
However if you make your own kernel then you may make ipv6 a module and
|
|
get a race condition between the netbase and procps startup scripts. This
|
|
is because netbase, by default, causes ipv6 module to be loaded but
|
|
they don't (and cannot) depend on each-other.
|
|
|
|
The solution is to either:
|
|
- Not put ipv6 keys into /etc/sysctl.d/* or /etc/sysctl.conf
|
|
- Compile the ipv6 module into the kernel
|
|
- Load the module early by putting ipv6 into /etc/modules
|
|
- Make a init script dependency by adding netbase to the Required-Start
|
|
line in /etc/init.d/procps

pgrep
|
|
-----
|
|
pgrep is a new program, using the Unix standard name for something that
|
|
greps for processes. If you are looking for Perl compatible regular
|
|
expression grep, it is called pcregrep.
