# urandom-save - save a new seed-file, for use by kernel PRNG at next boot
#
description "save seed-file for use by kernel PRNG"
# a) We should refresh the seed-file as soon as possible
# i.e. as soon as the filesystem is mounted and writeable.
# b) We should also refresh it again as late as possible,
# i.e. when shutting down, i.e. runlevels other than 2345
start on (filesystem or runlevel [!2345])
