Daemons not started from rpm postop

[Nathan Scott <nscott@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Does anyone know the reason for not starting pmcd after an rpm
install?  I've had a request for that, to reduce steps required
to do a pcp install/upgrade on large numbers of machines ... is
there any good reason not to do this?

Only reason I can think of is that if pcp is being installed as
part of a larger set of rpms, on a fresh install, the prereqs
might not be there yet?  Or networking not started, etc... but
it should be harmless to try to (re)start pcp, shouldn't it?

thanks.
