hi folks i've been working on spec'ing out the delegated restarter behaviour for the Network Auto-Magic project, and one thing i was thinking is it'd be nice to be able to add to the reasons that "svcs -xv" displays - from what i can tell they're hard-coded in svcs/explain.c. is there a way to augment these so a delegated restarter can provide an additonal reason? what i'd like to get to is to be able to provide additonal reasons for the offline state, such as "Attempting to contact DHCP server" or "A network cable is unplugged", that sort of thing. i've noticed that explain.c uses the "aux_state" property is used to hold additional state information (for cases such as restarting too quickly etc), what about augmenting that to have a "delegated" value that, if set, gets explain.c to reference a "delegated_reason" property value that the delegated restarter can set? basically something that tells explain.c that it should pick up the reason from a well-known property is what's needed i think. thanks!
