Package: setserial
Version: 2.10-4

(Debian release .93R5)

After installing and configuring the setserial package, there
was no /etc/init.d/setserial -- not even a skeleton.  I had to
set up the file and all the links myself...

Here's the skeleton I used, FWIW.  Not perfect, but it's what
mine is based on.

--------8<--------
#!/bin/sh
# run the setserial program

test -f /bin/setserial || exit 0

case "$1" in
start)
#  Insert all needed calls here.  A few examples are provided.
#  /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS1 spd_hi
#  /bin/setserial /dev/ttyS2 port 0x03e8 irq 5 spd_hi
  ;;
stop)
  ;;
*)      echo "Usage: /etc/init.d/setserial start|stop"; exit 1 ;;
esac
exit 0
--------8<--------

Presumably a configuration script could ask for devices and
values and edit, but the most important thing is to have the
script available and linked in properly.

setserial-2.10-4 apparently hasn't yet been converted to sys-v
init conventions.  It installs the script in /etc/rc.misc/0setserial.

Please remember that at least some hardware used to react badly to
setserial being run.  There should perhaps be an option to install a
setserial config that is completly commented out.

Note that in my suggested code I commented out all invocations
of setserial.  Your point is precisely why I did so.

The code from /etc/rc.misc/0setserial, which comes from the
normal setserial package, might be included in
/etc/init.d/setserial if it were commented out.
