Bug 139315 – app-misc/joymouse new init script

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description adr 2006-07-05 07:46:11 UTC]

Good working init script + conf for the ebuild!

--- /etc/conf.d/joymouse ---
JOYMOUSE_OPTS=""

PIDFILE="/var/run/joymouse.pid"
---

--- /etc/init.d/joymouse ---
#!/sbin/runscript

depend() {
	need modules
}

start() {
	ebegin "Starting joymouse"
	start-stop-daemon --start --quiet -m --pidfile ${PIDFILE} \
		--background --startas /usr/bin/joymouse -x /usr/bin/joymouse -- \
		${JOYMOUSE_OPTS}
	eend $?
}

stop() {
	ebegin "Stopping joymouse"
	start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile ${PIDFILE}
	eend $?
}

--- /etc/init.d/joymouse ---
+# NB: Config is in /etc/conf.d/joymouse
+
+# Provide a default location if they haven't in /etc/conf.d/joymouse
+PIDFILE=${PIDFILE:-/var/run/joymouse.pid}

no need to use --background as joymouse already has a '-d' option

also, making PIDFILE configurable is pointless imo

might be useful to patch the joymouse package so that it has a --pidfile option, then we wouldnt need ssd at all

I think you're right. It can't be started as a different user.
