Yeah, definitely a good approach.
I've also considered using functions that could be overriden in the
init.d scripts. The init-d-script could contain
do_restart() {
...
}
and the init.d script could contain a different implementation:
do_restart() {
... something else ...
}
The last definition would be used. :) But it would be hard to know if
do_reload() exist and will do something sensible, so variables are
perhaps a better approach. Is there some way to figure out if a
function exist, without calling it?
