Some files (e.g. nfs
, nfslock
, bind
) in my /etc/rc.d/init.d/
directory have in their comment header a line such as:
# probe: true
I found that those particular scripts has the probe
verb i.e.:
service nfs probe
But this is due to the fact that the mentioned scripts has code that deals with the probe
verb.
I find no mention of the # probe: true
notation in chkconfig
man page, nor in any related man pages. Googleing for it also didn't help.
Is there a real significance for that line, or is it pure documentation?
