Sure now you start answering the hard questions. Well the scripts I
use are all based around the same generic dispatcher.d script. The
only variance is whether you check in /var/lock/subsys or /var/run to
figure out if the daemon is always running. Other than that they just
run service NAMEOFSERVICE on/off/restart. If we could standardize and
put all our lock files or pid files in a single place then we could
run a single script from dispatcher.d that wraps symlinks put in
/etc/rc.d/rcN.d/ and does the appropriate thing to the service.
hmmm, that is confusing.
/etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/network-services
on interface up it loops through
/etc/rc.d/rcN.d/S(*) and either service $1 start or service $1
restart depending whether
/var/run/$1 exists or not.
Now that I look at it like that does it make sense to make
network-services an actual init-script that is responsible for for
/etc/rc.d/rcN.d/
If we are running NetworkManager it is activated through dispatcher.d,
otherwise we just enable it in standard init after network.
I think that should work.
