I noticed that Dante didn't come with a start/stop-script so I wrote one myself.. sockd doesn't create a pidfile so I had to use --make-pidfile -- background, but it seems to work fine! Here it is: #!/sbin/runscript # Copyright 1999-2002 Gentoo Technologies, Inc. # Distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License, v2 or later depend() { need net } checkconfig() { if [ ! -f /etc/socks/sockd.conf ] then eerror "Please create /etc/socks/sockd.conf!" eerror "Example configfiles can be found in /usr/share/doc/dante-x.x.x/example/" return 1 fi return 0 } start() { checkconfig || return $? ebegin "Starting Dante sockd" start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/sockd.pid \ --make-pidfile --background --exec /usr/sbin/sockd eend $? "Failed to start sockd" } stop() { ebegin "Stopping Dante sockd" start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/sockd.pid eend $? "Failed to stop sockd" # clean stale pidfile if [ -f /var/run/sockd.pid ] then rm -f /var/run/sockd.pid fi }
good job! okay, added in dante-1.1.9-r1.ebuild. thx for writing and contributing this ;)
