Package: lighttpd
Version: 1.4.19-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
lighttpd is the perfect choice for a test webserver for CGI programs.
But one does not need it running all the time, specially on laptops. I
wanted a way to have lighttpd installed, but disabled, so I not waste
RAM and CPU during most of the time when I don't need it. When I need
it, I can manually start it with a custom configuration file, and with
my regular user account.
Please consider applying the attached patch. It makes possible to
disable lighttpd by creating /etc/default/lighttpd with a line like
this:
DISABLE_LIGHTTPD=Y
The patch does not introduce any bashisms in the initscript, and seems
to work well on my system.
Thanks,
