Work with the Linux Foundation on a new/revised sane LSB spec?
There are two separate things here:
1) Use LSB for OS-provided init scripts
2) Support third-party LSB init scripts
Now 2) makes sense, but I don't see a lot of value generally in 1) -
particularly since most of these init scripts are just a big
copy&paste mess of shell script that can be effectively replaced by a
single Upstart line like:
exec /usr/libexec/mydaemon
To take a concrete example from
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=246884
This would be the startup script:
pre-start script
if ! /sbin/lsmod | grep -q cachefiles; then modprobe cachefiles; fi
end script
exec /sbin/cachefilesd
85 lines of shell goo down to 4. And it'd just be 1 if the logic for
the kernel module was in the daemon itself (as I would argue it should
be).
the initng guys did that already for initng.. have a look at initng-ifiles. All ready and set to go.
