The preceding shellscript is what Linux, UNIX, BSD, and POSIX are all about. There's a reason Thompson and Ritchie gave us simple, tested and flawless commands to do one thing and do it right: So we could string them together to do something valuable and seemingly complex.

The reason for asking to open a feature request is because I've written the init script. It has a few features for easy configuration, like the automatic port forward using iptables, but this needs testing and could be more robust. The state is: it works for me...:-) OK, I will start upstreams then. Thank you! Adrian. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng

I would start by finding out whether any older version of the package (for Debian, Ubuntu, or anything else it's previously been packaged for) had such a script, and it looks like it's been dropped, or whether there never was one in the first place. Looking around https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing/tree/main/etc and also at older versions, it doesn't look to me like the authors have ever created a sysvinit script for it, so I'd start by contacting them (possibly after looking at the /etc deirectory for other systems such as BSD to see whether you can put something together yourself and offer it as a starting point). https://github.com/syncthing/foundation Antony. -- "I estimate there's a world market for about five computers." - Thomas J Watson, Chairman of IBM Please reply to the list; please *don't* CC me. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
[DNG] package missing System V init script
Dear List Yesterday I installed syncthing-relaysrv, which is missing the init script for System V based systems. What is the best practice to report such problem? Open a bug in Devuan, Debian or upstreams? Thanks, Adrian. ___ Dng mailing list Dng@lists.dyne.org https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
