Hi Folks,
I was wondering, since when making some adminstrative work on many machines, I
came to the point that sometimes I have to restart some services. What I did was
to add some statements, in fact, the restart Option.
By example, for the portmapper:
#! /bin/sh
#
# /etc/rc.d/init.d/portmap.init: Start/Restart/Stop RPC portmapper

#
# Source function library.
. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions
# Get config.
. /etc/sysconfig/network
# Check that networking is up.
if [ ${NETWORKING} = "no" ]
then
exit 0
fi
[ -f /usr/sbin/portmap ] || exit 0
# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting portmapper: "
daemon portmap
echo
touch /var/lock/subsys/portmap
;;
restart)
echo "Saving portmap process informations"
pmap_dump > /tmp/portmap_dump
echo -n "Stopping portmapper "
killproc portmap
echo
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/portmap
# Stopped
echo -n "Starting portmapper: "
daemon portmap
echo
sleep 1
echo "Restoring portmap process informations"
pmap_set < /tmp/portmap_dump
touch /var/lock/subsys/portmap
rm -f /tmp/portmap_dump
;;
stop)
echo -n "Stopping INET services: "
killproc portmap
echo
rm -f /var/lock/subsys/portmap
;;
*)
echo "Usage: portmap.init {start|restart|stop}"
exit 1
esac
exit 0
This would b.e. have the advantage of restarting services after changes made to
some configuration files using "portmap.init restart". Maybe somday the
/etc/hosts.allow|deny will be configurable from something like the netconfig
tcl/tk script ? Would be easy to restart the service, since it would only take a
statement restart :)
I admit, getting the error level to analyse wether the process is still running
or not would have to be implemented, but I bet there are some good guys out
there who would implement this...
If some people are interested, I might send in some patches ?
Eric, Donnie ??? What about this idea ? Is it worth the trouble ???
