Improve this questionI am looking at linux startup services, like Cron which runs at level 5 located in init.d, in the startup script I can only see the script file and location of binary file which is executed on startup.
Where can I see the actual source code of these services?
On Debian (or Debian based) systems, you can also apt-get source <packagename>
, assuming you have the appropriate deb-src
URLs in /etc/apt/sources.list
.
This works for underprivileged users, it will fetch the source and uncompress it in the current working directory.
To reproduce the builds, its a good idea to have debhelper
installed, or let apt satisfy the dependencies automagically by using apt-get build-dep <packagename>
Its a lot more convenient than googling / searching for the source archive that will reproduce the version of the program you want to study or modify.
It depends on your distribution, but Debian has source packages for each package, e.g. http://packages.debian.org/source/lenny/cron
