Updated patch attached for sysvinit. This patch: * Imports the "service" script functionality and manpage directly from the Fedora9 source, http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/source/SRPMS/initscripts-8.76-1.src.rpm * Debian/Ubuntu changes include * service * Added header comments, with license/copyright in the shell script * Embedded a is_ignored_file() in the script; in the RH script, it was sourced from /etc/init.d/functions; we don't have/need that whole file. is_ignored_file() contains a more Debian/Ubuntu specific list of files to ignore. This list was taken from the sysvconfig version of the "service" script. There are probably some other scripts that could/should be added to this list over time. * Used INVOKERC="invoke-rc.d --force --quiet", rather than $SERVICEDIR/$SERVICE to execute the init script * Fixed one very minor bug in the RH version, which was using "-x" to test script execute-abilty in most places, but used a simpler "-f" test in one place; fixed this. * service.8 * Removed the "See Also" links to non-existent (or not common) Debian/Ubuntu utilities (chkconfig, ntsysv).
I think this is a better implementation than: 1) My previous version, which blindly just passed $@ to the init script, didn't use update-rc, didn't support --help, or --version, or --status-all, or --restart-all 2) The sysvconfig version, which was a new implementation, which closely, but did not identically match the RH functionality 3) The debian-helper-scripts version was was *very* primitive. Requesting review and sponsorship/upload. Followup patches will be posted to update debian-helper-scripts and sysvconfig to depend on sysvinit-utils. :-Dustin ** Attachment added: "sysvinit.259043.debdiff" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16933439/sysvinit.259043.debdiff -- Ubuntu Server would benefit from a "service" wrapper script https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259043 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
