Since init scripts are configuration files, they may be + left on the system after their package has been removed but not purged. + At that point, the package dependencies are not guaranteed to exist and + the interpreter may therefore not be available. + . + It's generally best to write init scripts using <code>/bin/sh</code> or + <code>/bin/bash</code> where possible, since they are guaranteed to always be + available. |
