To insure a clean startup/shutdown of brltty in Slackware, imitating
what's done for other daemons, I could do this:
_In /etc/rc.d/rc.S, insert this after creation of the devices and before
file systems checks:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.brltty ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.brltty start
fi
_In the same file we have already this:
# Run any local shutdown scripts:
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown ]; then
/etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown stop
fi
_So I would create the script /etc/rc.d/rc.brltty with this content:
#!/bin/sh
#
# Start/stop brltty
#
brltty_start() {
if [ -x /bin/brltyt]; then
echo "Starting brltty daemon: /bin/brltty "
/bin/brltty 2> /dev/null
fi
}
brltty_stop() {
killall brltty 2> /dev/null
}
case "$1" in
'start')
brltty_start
;;
'stop')
brltty_stop
;;
'restart'
brltty_stop
sleep1
brltty_start
;;
*)
echo "usage $0 start|stop|restart"
esac
# End of file /etc/rc.d/rc.brltty
_And in /etc/rc.d/rc.local_shutdown, include this code snippet:
if [ -x /bin/brlty]; then
/etc/rc.d/brltty stop
fi
What do you think?
In particular:
Is it useful to kill the daemon before shutdown?
are there actual use cases for 'restart'?
TIA and best regards,
Didier
