Since we can't do this on non-linux xystems, we do +not dereference non-terminal symbolic links by default. If you need them +dereferenced, you should add the "-s" switch to the appropriate +checkpath calls. +For more information, see http://github.com/openrc/openrc/issues/201. + ## OpenRC 0.42 openrc-shutdown now has the ability to shut down sysvinit-based systems. |
