Hi,
In some upstart script I wrote, i have multiple script (for example
post-start and pre-stop). I would like to be able to define variables
for all those scripts at the same time. And why not define shell
functions for all scripts.
So i would like to suggest a new section that can start for example
with "common script" and that would be executed before each script. So
I could merge common code.
For example:
common script
source /etc/profile # have initctl directory in our PATH
EXECNAME=/usr/bin/mydaemon
source /etc/conf.d/$MYDAEMON # define $OPTS, $PIDFILE variables
end script
pre-start script
# compatibility with old init
test -f $PIDFILE && kill $(cat $PIDFILE)
end script
post-start script
initctl status $MYSELF | get_pid > $PIDFILE
end script
exec $EXECNAME --foreground $OPTS
post-stop script
rm -f $PIDFILE
end script
In fact I don't use pidfiles, except on rare cases. But that could be
useful on certain startup script where it is not as simple as exec a
daemon.
What do you think of that ?
