I am in the process of adding ipv6 to the the network scripts
Yes, I have read IPv6-in-LFS.txt and that isn't the proper way to add
ipv6 to the bootscripts in my opinion. Good information wrong
implementation. I am looking to create ipv6-static and maybe
ipv6-static-route files.
May have to add something for wpa and dhcp, I have not researched
that at this time and right now I am only concerned to get ipv6
working with a static ip.
Now for the issues I have found......
grep -R PREVLEVEL *
init.d/rc:previous=${PREVLEVEL}
PREVLEVEL is never set in any script......
So Later......
grep -R previous *
init.d/rc:previous=${PREVLEVEL}
init.d/rc:[ "${previous}" == "" ] && previous=N
init.d/rc:if [ "${previous}" != "N" ]; then
init.d/rc:
prev_start=/etc/rc.d/rc${previous}.d/S[0-9][0-9]${suffix}
init.d/rc:if [ "${previous}" == "N" ]; then export
IN_BOOT=1; fi
init.d/rc: if [ "${previous}" != "N" ]; then
init.d/rc:
prev_start=/etc/rc.d/rc${previous}.d/S[0-9][0-9]${suffix}
init.d/rc:if [ "${previous}" == "N" -a "${runlevel}" != "S" ]; then
Since PREVLEVEL is not set anywhere in any of the boot scripts,
as previous is always set to N
And previous is only set once in /etc/init.d/rc
Trouble ahead........
grep -R IN_BOOT *
init.d/rc:if [ "${previous}" == "N" ]; then export IN_BOOT=1; fi
sbin/ifup:if [ "${IN_BOOT}" = "1" -a "${ONBOOT}" != "yes" ]; then
Since IN_BOOT is only defined when rc has run ie "booting"
And IN_BOOT is undefined when: /etc/init.d/network restart
That causes all ifconfig.<iface> files to be brought up, with no way
to disable one,
Adding/changing in /sbin/ifup:
# Do not process this service if ONBOOT is set to disabled
if [ "${ONBOOT}" == "disabled" ]; then exit 0; fi
# Do not process this service if started by boot, and ONBOOT
# is not set to yes
if [ "${IN_BOOT}" = "1" -a "${ONBOOT}" != "yes" ]; then
exit 0
fi
fixes this.....
My guess is that more evils exist in the bootscripts and to come out
at night?
PS.
Shouldn't all the scripts have either
#! /bin/sh
or
#! /bin/bash
Just for consistency? and not be mixed?
And no undefined variables?
