Read on slashdot about /sbin/service which can shortcut the problem of
service controlling on redhat linux systems. however looking at the
script i found that it calls the services with the service name is the
first argument. had to get the arguments shifted before it worked. i
belive my system is pretty conventional but could anyone verify this.
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$1" ]; then
echo "no service specified" >&2
exit 1
elif [ -x "/etc/rc.d/init.d/$1" ]; then
temp=$1 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< changed
shift <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< by me
"/etc/rc.d/init.d/$temp" $*
else
echo "$1: unrecognized service" >&2
exit 1
fi
