lfs-bootscripts-1.13

[gerard@…]

Use variables in the daemon start scripts, like:

source /etc/sysconfig/rc source $rc_functions

NAME="" #name of the service/application PREFIX="" #path to the application APP="" #the application OPTIONS="" #parameters

case "$1" in

start)

echo "Starting $NAME..." loadproc $PREFIX/$APP $OPTIONS ;;

and so on

When collecting K* links, there's a bug that causes you not being able to use more than two digits for the links, else you'll get errors that there is not corresponding S* link in the previous level.

See discussion started:

Fixed the priority digit stripping to obtain $suffix - will work with mixed amount of numbers

[gerard@…]

add the -d option to mountfs's umount command to free up loop devices.

[gerard@…]

Write more docs regarding usage of the scripts, especially the network script's ability to use /etc/sysconfig/network-devicese/ifup-devicename script to do the work rather than the default ifconfig command run by the ifup script (same for ifdown-devicename)

Instead of just shutting down on error, see what can be done to ask the user what to do when an error has been encountered.

update for cleanfs:

find /var/run -not -type d -exec rm {} \;

[markh@…]

On lfs-dev, Erika Pacholleck pointed out that the above change to use find:

Needs (at least here, dunno about standard lfs) mv /usr/bin/find /bin

so if it's decided to do this, we'll need to add the relevant mv to chapter6 findutils.

I found following bug in /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. If you use a serial console "stty size" (line 16) always reports "0 0". When you start something like "/etc/rc.d/init.d/sysklogd start" the "[ OK ]" message beginns at column 0 and overwrites the "starting ..." text. Following patch resolves this problem. ============== snip ==================== --- functions.orig 2002-05-29 17:07:31.000000000 +0200 +++ functions 2002-05-29 17:09:10.000000000 +0200 @@ -15,6 +15,10 @@

Addition to comment #7 - don't just run 'find' (if we are going to do it, not sure yet) on /var/run also run it on /var/lock

I am releasing 1.10 now but nothing much has changed other than a small change so checkfs can work with non-ext2 file systems better. All the changes here will go into 1.11 in the future (too much work to test all the new code).

Another thing you might want to consider adding would be to set the domainname correctly:

Maybe add a line to /etc/sysconfig/network DOMAINNAME=linuxfromscratch.org

And then apply this patch to localnet

stop)

I don't know why, it just feels cleaner that when I run domainname, it gives me the proper answer ;-) (Oh, and I think it should go in the base bootscripts because I consider it part of a basic network initialisation procedure).

[gerard@…]

Don't remove /var/run/* instead clean it out, leaving directories intact

[gerard@…]

Patch to make the scripts compatible with ash from busybox

[iwanek@…]

this patch implements all remaining fixes except for comment #4 and comment #5

[gerard@…]

See ​http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-dev/2003/05/0980.html

The idea is to make the network scripts more generic as to allow different services (ie: DHCP instead of static IP only as assumed now) to be plugged in without the need to rewrite a bunch of files.

This should be tested before implementing.

lfs-bootscripts-1.12-pre2

[gerard@…]

Fixed version of conathan's updated network scripts.

[greg@…]

There is a problem with fsck return codes that needs fixing. See the thread here for details:-

​http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/lfs-dev/2003-August/036184.html

I'll attach a suggested patch.

suggested fix

Next will be 1.13

Bootscripts currently use "touch" unnecessarily.

It can be replaced by "> /var/run/utmp" like is currently done in the mountfs script for /etc/mtab.

See Bug 679 for some background.

(we can stop moving "touch" into /bin once the bootscripts are modified).

Closing this bug for LFS-bootscripts for now - bootscript problems are now tracked as part of the LFS-bootscripts bugzilla project.
