Hi. I am currently working on a way to extract the dependencies from openrc init scripts to be able to support the automatic init.d fallbacks in gentoo.
There are a few problems with that, as gentoo don't provide any LSB headers and uses a different kind of init.d scripts. This makes it necessary to actually execute the depend function of these scripts within a bash and provide a set of functions to extract the deps. The extracting and bash scripting part was fairly easy as it mainly includes a 100 lines bash script to parse the init script. The more complex part is integrating the functionality into systemd. Imho it would be necessary to synchronously start a bash on every attempt to extract the dependency, read the stdout and parse it. My questions are: Is it safe to spawn a bash process to do the extraction and waitpid(pid) until it returns? Or do i freeze systemd by doing this, because bash depends on systemds functionality?
