rc.subr startup question
Hello,
I'm running 5.3-STABLE and I want to write a startup script for
ports/sysutils/mcron. The twis is, I want an mcron process for
each user I specify in an external file. For example...
/usr/local/etc/mcron.conf:
$usernames=user1 user2 user3
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mcron.sh
#!/bin/sh
# $Id$
# PROVIDE: mcron
# REQUIRE: LOGIN
# KEYWORD: FreeBSD shutdown
#
. /etc/rc.subr
name=mcron
prefix=/usr/local
command=${prefix}/bin/${name}
mcron_enable=${mcron_enable:-NO}
mcron_flags=${mcron_flags--d}
# Load user names from conf file
#
. ${prefix}/etc/${name}.conf
rcvar=`set_rcvar`
load_rc_config $name
for user in ${usernames}; do
mcron_user=${user}
run_rc_command $1
done
This does not work because run_rc_command checks to see if the process
is already running before attempting to launch another instance. I've
read rc.subr(8) and it's not apparent if I can use the rc.subr tools in
this scenario. Perhaps this is something best accomplished in
/etc/rc.local? Any and all suggestions welcome.
