New version, rc-script from the .tgz still needed

Nice one... I set up this manually as I didn't know it existed! Anyway, not yet in CVS. By the way, I don't see as correct your rc-script... I did something a lil bit different:

depend() {
        need net
}

start() {
        ebegin "Starting the IPv6 heartbit system"
        my_ip=$(/sbin/ifconfig | /bin/grep "eth0" -A 1 | /bin/grep "inet addr" | /bin/tr ' ' '\n'  | /bin/grep "addr" | /bin/cut -b 6-);
        echo ${my_ip}
        /sbin/ip tunnel add sixbone mode sit remote 62.24.229.120 local ${my_ip} ttl 64 dev eth0
        /sbin/ip link set sixbone mtu 1280
        /sbin/ip link set sixbone up
        /sbin/ip addr add 3ffe:4005:1000:4a::2 dev sixbone
        /sbin/ip route add 2000::/3 dev sixbone
        /usr/bin/heartbeat-client /etc/heartbeat.conf
        eend ${result_start}
}
stop() {
        ebegin "Stopping the IPv6 heartbit system"
        /sbin/ip tunnel del sixbone
        killall heartbeat-client
        eend ${result_start}
}


The script is not complete, the IP variables that do not change (IPv4POP server, IPv6 client, IPv6 server) should be set in /etc/conf.d/<variable-file>

With the script above, the tunnel is set up on boot and the daemon runs on background: tested: it works ;)

rc-script (/etc/init.d/)

This script should be place under /etc/init.d/ and depends on the existance of
/etc/conf.d/ipv6tunnel.

/etc/conf.d/ipv6tunnel configuration

This file should be placed under /etc/conf.d/
It contains the configuration in order to make run /etc/init.d/ipv6tunnel

In the script perhaps you'll have to change the name of the heartbeat-client. I used the original name.

[Comment 7 Bernhard Schmidt 2004-09-19 16:04:27 UTC]

although apparently noone ever thought about adding this package the bug can be closed, because the successor of the heartbeat-client is now available

See bug #64409
