Bug 69609 – "iperf" can run as server - the init script for it is missing

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Thomas Bullinger 2004-10-31 05:07:07 UTC]

I started experimenting with iperf - a nice little measuring tool for network throughput.  Unfortunately it is missing an init script for server mode - so I wrote one.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:




The init script is small - here it is:

#!/sbin/runscript

start() {
        ebegin "Starting iperf Server"
        start-stop-daemon --start --quiet \
                --exec /usr/bin/iperf -- -s -D
        eend $?
}

stop() {
        ebegin "Shutting down iperf Server"
        start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --exec /usr/bin/iperf
        eend $?
}

# vim:ts=4

Try attaching the initscript as a text/plain attachment, not pasted inline.
