I have a basic implementation of the functionality given above in the form of a plugin that registers itself as a notifier. The removal of the failure after a certain amount of time is implemented. The retry limit not yet. The plugin has two parameters that I would like to be configurable: The timout time and the number of retries. Now I was wondering what the right place would for the configuration of these parameters. - Hard coding it as defines: This gives the end user perhaps limited possibility to change them to its needs. - Placing it in the main.conf under the general section: This feels a little odd because the parameters are very specific for the plugin - Placing it in a different section in main.conf: It does make sense to me to give plugins their own sections, but is there already code to support this? - Using a new config file specifically for the plugin: This spreads the configuration across multiple files - ... So what would be the preferred way? Regards, Thiemo _______________________________________________ connman mailing list [email protected] https://lists.connman.net/mailman/listinfo/connman
