I think that Alex is trying to say that "/usr/sbin/uptimed -b" just creates a
boot-id and that the uptimedeamon thereafter actually has to be started through
just another "/usr/sbin/uptimed", so /etc/init.d/uptimed needs to contain both
lines, as Alex stated

BTW: starting the uptimedeamon through /etc/init.d/uptimed doesn't echo
anything on my system, as it should, according to the above. I reinstalled it
just now (it did ask me whether or not I wanted uptimed to be started at
boottime :-)

Cheers!
