Description Robert Trace 2011-05-17 21:22:44 UTC
Initscript uses svc_(start|stop).  These functions don't appear to be supported
in openrc.


Reproducible: Always

Remove svc_(start|stop) and make openrc compatible

Just remove the custom restart() function as its not providing much value and openrc's default of calling stop() & start() is going to provide the same functionality.

Apart from their probably obsolete mention in a comment, how does that comment's presence do anything in openrc? How does removing the restart function help?
Comment 3 Robert Trace 2011-05-18 00:46:16 UTC
Dead code elimination, removal of a misleading function.... that's about it.

Does it help/hinder anything under openrc?  Functionally, not really since openrc is going to ignore it anyway, but removing the appearance of functionality is probably a good thing.  Before today, I assumed that openrc _didn't_ ignore restart() since several scripts still implemented it.

OK, that makes sense. Removed. Thanks for reporting.
