Description Robin Johnson archtester

I'd like to write some init scripts that function in a similar fashion to the net.* init scripts, but this is presently very difficult, as the NAME of the script that was called is not currently available in the environment space of the init.d script.

Here's a very short patch that makes it available:
--- /sbin/runscript.sh.orig     2005-03-22 22:51:04.984791912 -0800
+++ /sbin/runscript.sh  2005-03-22 22:50:59.831575320 -0800
@@ -28,6 +28,7 @@
 fi

 myservice=${myservice##*/}
+export SERVICENAME="${myservice}"
 mylevel=$(<"${svcdir}/softlevel")


It may also then be possible move some of the networking script stuff out of runscript.sh.
