Hi folks,

what has happened with the old sysv init scripts that were
provided by Debian's sysvinit package, eg

	hwclock
        brightness

and others? Have they been replaced by some systemd package
I was too blind to find? Hopefully I am not supposed to
reinstall the sysvinit package to avoid the

        time changed backwards, rotating journal

at boot time?


Regards

Harri

didier@hp-notebook14:~$ apt-file search init.d/brightness
initscripts: /etc/init.d/brightness
didier@hp-notebook14:~$ apt-file search init.d/hwclock
util-linux-extra: /etc/init.d/hwclock.sh

for the others, searching that way would possibly give you the needed 
answers

     dpkg -S hwclock

suggests that it is handled by udev:
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/85-hwclock.rules

It seems, hwclock is not supposed to be invoked during startup in a way 
that does not depend on detected hardware:

systemctl status hwclock.service
○ hwclock.service
      Loaded: masked (Reason: Unit hwclock.service is masked.)
      Active: inactive (dead)
