Bug 93246 – hb-working-initscripts: use more elegant way to create runlevel

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs-user

[Description Jan Kundrát (RETIRED) 2005-05-19 13:32:08 UTC]

What about replacing bunch of `rc-update add $service offline` with simple `for`? Patch will follow...

Thanks for the suggestion.

the for statement is not correct. it will issue (in one of the loops):
rc-update add /etc/runlevels/default/foo offline
which will lead to an error:
 * /sbin/rc-update: /etc/init.d//etc/runlevels/default/foo not found; aborting.

as you can see, rc-update appends the '/etc/init.d/' path to the third
parameter. the correct statement would be:
1)
cd /etc/runlevels/default
for service in *; do rc-update add $service offline; done
2)
for service in *; do rc-update add `basename $service` offline; done

of course, there are other solutions, too, but i have only pointed out 2 easy ones.

Really should not do those in the middle of the night.
Sorry.

Err, sorry for bogous patch :-(. It was tested only with "... do echo rc-updatte
$service ...".
