So lib/private is not, directly, the solution.
I can sort-of workaround it by
/lib.private
some_function() {
/bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/shorewall_some_function.sh
}
load_shorewall_some_function() {
cat << EOF > /usr/local/sbin/shorewall_some_function.sh
script contents
etc
etc
etc
EOF
}
and call
/init
load_shorewall_some_function
where "shorewall_some_function.sh" is, then, in-path and executable at shell
Of course, doable but messy.
It'd be very useful to have lib.private functions executable from a "shorewall
run <scrip_name>" cmd line, where those scripts could be defined once -- in
e.g. a shared lib.private on my cerntal, compile machine, and propoagated by
the compile step.
Whether that's best in lib.private itself, or some other mechanism, I don't
know.
Please consider "shorewall run foo" from lib.private a feature request.
Thanks.
