I wrote the attatched init.d script for Gentoo, like to see them included in Portage. These scripts assume the inclusion of a user called donkey along with a home directory in /home/donkey/ also I needed to emerge netcat before using. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Created attachment 10349 [details] /etc/init.d/mldonkey
Created attachment 10350 [details] /etc/conf.d/mldonkey
Created attachment 11775 [details] another, much simpler (but definitly not as powerful) rc script all this rc-script does is start and stop mldonkey. It uses the -daemon and -log_file flag of mlnet (which only exists since v 2.04rc1-9) what's most annoying: it shows all files shared before going into quiet mode :(
Created attachment 11776 [details] the corresponding config file
Created attachment 11777 [details] an ebuild for the (not yet available 2.04 version) mldonkey said 2? days ago (today=Sun 11 05 2003), that the new version should come out this week. This ebuild features a config part which creates an mldonkey user/group. It might be a good idea to mix the rc-scripts and use this ebuild.
if you don't want mldonkey to show all files it shares, just add > /dev/null to the line starting it.
sorry, don't have time to look after this bug. Maybe someone else has time?
hi, not knowing about these files I made a script/ebuild myself, bug #25695 (mldonkey-2.5.3-r1 in portage tree) I included now some of your ideas in a new version, if you want to further develop the script please contact me.
Closing, as we got this fixed in bug 25695 thanks to Julian.
