I'm now attempting to debug the problems with my new LFS system.
One of the minor ones was that the postfix shutdown failed and I got
a line of 5 red stars to draw it to my attention. Turns out to be
because the script kills ${PIDFILE} ${BINFILE} and $BINFILE was
pointing to the now non-existent /usr/lib/postfix/master.
I could just raise a ticket or change the bootscript directly, but
I'd prefer discussion on whether we should allow old installations
to continue to work with the current bootscripts. For the moment
I've got
if [ -f /usr/lib/postfix/master ]; then
BINFILE=/usr/lib/postfix/master
else
BINFILE=/usr/libexec/postfix/master
fi
which should allow for either version. But do we want to go for a
degree of backward compatability, or only let it shut down cleanly
with the current installation ? If we do want compatability, is my
test valid for lesser shells, or have I introduced a bash-ism ? I
*think* it's good /bin/sh, but I never use other shells.
